Media entrepreneurs acquire NETIA from Globecast

NETIA, the French Media software solutions company, has announced that its sole shareholder Globecast (part of the Orange group) has sold all its shares in the company to two French media entrepreneurs, Anthony Savelli and Vincent Benveniste.

The acquisition was made via Radio Act SAS, their consulting and services agency.

Both businessmen exceed 25 years of experience in media IT and have an impressive track record in successfully transforming technology businesses in synergy with customers, partners and staff.

NETIA’s CEO Thierry Gandilhon explained: “Having now private owners committed to our roots in the south of France and to our core business, will give us the autonomy to focus on a more efficient operation. Our teams have already started a dialog with several customers and we are confident that they will benefit from this new setup, particularly from a user experience and lifecycle management standpoints.”

“NETIA has very talented people working with the best media professionals across the world” said Vincent Benveniste, Radio Act’s president. “We’re honored to lead its development from here on as a customer focused, agile, creative and autonomous organization” he added.
