ERA Appoints Phillip Boettcher As Pre-Sales Manager

ERA, a specialist provider of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for the Media & Entertainment sector, has announced the appointment of Phillip Boettcher as Pre-Sales Manager.

Boettcher brings nearly 15 years of experience in media and entertainment, specialising in post-production and broadcast workflows, media storage, and infrastructure. He has extensive experience helping clients transition from traditional on-premise environments to hybrid infrastructures that leverage data centre colocation and cloud technologies.

A key highlight of his career is a 14-year tenure at Jigsaw24, where he held a senior pre-sales role supporting production and post-production clients across the UK. He led a team of pre-sales consultants across pro video, pro audio, post-production workflow, and infrastructure, while also acting as the primary technical contact for sales teams on complex media systems.

In his new role at ERA, Boettcher will work with customers and internal teams to design and deliver solutions covering remote workstations, storage, burst render, and archiving, helping organisations scale efficiently while maintaining performance and control.

"I'm really excited to be joining ERA at a time when the media and entertainment industry is undergoing such rapid change," said Boettcher. "I've spent much of my career helping customers evolve their workflows and infrastructure, and ERA's approach to flexible, on-demand services aligns perfectly with where the industry is heading. I'm looking forward to supporting customers as they adapt to new ways of working and increasing demands on compute, storage and rendering."

Sean Baker, Managing Director at ERA, added: "Phillip's appointment is a significant addition to the ERA team. His depth of experience, particularly his long-standing role at Jigsaw24, brings invaluable insight into real-world media workflows and customer challenges. As more organisations look to private cloud and hybrid infrastructure to support remote working, scalability and performance, Phillip will play a key role in ensuring we continue to deliver well-designed, practical solutions that truly meet our customers' needs."

At ERA, Boettcher will focus on proof-of-concept offerings, solution design, and portfolio development, helping clients understand how ERA’s IaaS solutions address the challenges of scale, flexibility, and performance in an evolving media landscape.
