Casper Plessing takes on Iberia sales for ChyronHego

ChyronHego has announced the appointment of Casper Plessing as vice president of sales for Iberia, encompassing Spain and Portugal. Plessing will focus on expanding sales opportunities and managing partner channels in the region’s challenging broadcast industry. He moves into the new role from his previous position as sales manager for VidiGo, now a ChyronHego company.

“We were fortunate to gain access to Casper’s outstanding sales management and technical expertise through our acquisition of VidiGo, and now it makes complete sense for him to take charge of this important sales effort,” said Rickard Öhrn, ChyronHego’s president, EMEA. “As we continue to grow our market presence in Europe, the Iberia region will play a pivotal role. Casper is the ideal professional to take on the challenges and opportunities in this vital region.”

Plessing began his career in the broadcast industry at VidiGo almost a decade ago, where he served for more than five years as a project manager, operations manager, and international channel manager. He rejoined VidiGo three years ago as sales manager, where he most recently oversaw the company’s sales and distribution channel in Latin America, Southeast Asia, Russia, and the CIS countries. Plessing also is the owner of SalesQ Spain, an international, full-service sales support company, and he served as general manager for DataQ, a Netherlands-based business-to-business telemarketing firm. A native of the Netherlands, Plessing holds a degree in engineering from the Delft University of Technology.
