Christie®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ushio Inc., has appointed Sean James as executive vice president, Global Sales & Service, at Christie.

In this new role, James will lead the sales function and continue to lead the company's service organisation.

"Sean's proven leadership, combined with his ability to foster strong, lasting relationships, makes him highly qualified to lead our sales and service teams," says Michael Phipps, president and chief operating officer, Christie. "His extensive experience in visual technologies and services, uniquely positions him to lead our new optimised operations to better serve our customers while ensuring long-term sustainability."

With more than 28 years of experience at Christie, Sean, who started his career as a field engineer servicing cinema equipment, was instrumental in developing support programmes and relationships with many leading Hollywood studios as they transitioned to digital cinema. He helped to deploy the world's first large-scale digital cinema deployment of nearly 4,000 screens across the U.S. and led the development of Christie's first Network Operations Centre (NOC), expanding it globally. Sean previously led Christie's Enterprise and Entertainment division and has played a key role in driving Christie’s expansion in both markets. His insights over the years have strengthened the company’s reputation as a global leader in AV solutions for cinema, themed entertainment, government, and live & public events.
