Chyron Appoints US Sales Executive

Chyron has appointed David Silverstein as US sales executive.

Silverstein comes to Chyron as a multi-Emmy Award-winning media professional expert in consultative selling via his broad and deep knowledge in news production and content innovation. His background includes time spent as a producer, executive producer and news director at several major market television stations. Most recently, he spent nearly a decade as a national sales director for The Associated Press.

"I am excited about sharing Chyron innovations with the industry, and look forward to leveraging my hands-on industry experience to build relationships that are truly collaborative," stated Silverstein. "The Chyron news ecosystem, with CAMIO as its backbone integrating everything from graphics, to virtual sets, to video walls and even weather segments to the newsroom rundown is very robust and efficient, and I am very familiar with it. The company's strong partnerships with 3rd party vendors, resellers and clients is a great building block."

David will focus on strengthening relationships with station groups, universities and others, and also North American channel partners. His client roster will include legacy Chyron customers, major broadcasters new to Chyron, as well as emerging broadcasters.

"We are delighted to welcome David to our team," said Steve Papadakis, Senior Vice President of Sales, Americas. "His background encompasses a lot of time in the news room and the control room. He knows the challenges. But he also has proven executive sales experience built on his ability to think strategically and help customers move forward. I am confident that he will be a benefit to Chyron, to his colleagues, and to our customers."
