Sony PSE Announces New Leadership Appointment

Damien Weissenburger has been appointed by Sony Professional Solutions Europe (PSE) to lead the company's Theatre Solutions business, it has been announced.

Weissenburger will fill the role as Business Head of Sony Digital Cinema 4K in parallel with current responsibilities as Business Head of Corporate & Education Solutions. Based in the UK, he will oversee strategic growth plans for the two separate business entities.

Established in 2010, Sony Digital Cinema has undergone significant commercial success, with the company introducing the first commercially available 4K Digital Cinema projector, and delivering immersive cinematic experiences to audiences worldwide. Since then, the business has expanded its portfolio with reliable, high-contrast 4K projection solutions that deliver image quality on every size of cinema screen.

Damien Weissenburger said: "In this new role I will be building on David McIntosh's great work as Sony's cinema business moves into its next exciting phase of growth. Maximising synergies from across Sony, I believe we can develop innovative new presentation solutions that will shape the future of cinema exhibition. One example of this is our Crystal LED big-screen display technology, being shown here at CineEurope. This gives an intriguing hint of a possible future for digital cinema – one that may not even involve projectors at all."

Damien takes over the role from David McIntosh who now heads up Sony's Sports division.
