EditShare Welcomes Four New Sales Directors

Editshare has appointed four new sales directors across its several regions in the US and Canada, effective immediately.

Jason Quast joins as the territory sales director for Southeast US and Dave Spraker for the territory sales director role for Northwest US and British Columbia, Canada.

They join Jeff Barnes and Grant Carroll, who have moved into territory sales director positions for the Southwest US, and Northeast US respectively.

"While today's IT-based media workflows provide immense efficiencies for production and post-production, as well as flexibility in terms of collaboration and remote access, they also pose challenges for the broadcast, video and film community across important areas such as security and compliance," said Andy Liebman, CEO, EditShare. "You need expert advice on building a workflow that lets you maximise remote talent and production efficiencies while also giving you protection against cyber theft and helping you avoid delivering shows that require costly technical revisions later. Jeff, Grant, Dave and Jason have years of experience and can provide the sound guidance facilities need when making an investment in their business whether it is migrating to UHD storage, setting up a secure remote workflow, leveraging the cloud cost-effectively or coming in line with new IMF delivery requirements."
