New regional heads are appointed as Snell and Quantel integrate sales forces

Quantel and Snell has announced the reorganisation of its international sales operation under three newly-appointed regional heads, each heading up integrated Quantel and Snell sales structures. In EAME, Tim Banks is appointed to lead the sales organisation, based in the UK. Banks has been in sales with Snell for 15 years and was most recently Director of Sales.

In the Americas (US, Canada, Latin America), Russ Johnson joins the company to lead the Americas organisation, based out of the New York office. Johnson has successfully carried out similar roles for Grass Valley, Leitch Technology and Harris Broadcast over the last 20+ years.

David Tasker is appointed to lead the Asia Pacific organisation, based out of Hong Kong. Tasker joined Snell & Wilcox in 1991 and was a key figure in driving both technology development and rapid sales growth. In 2001, Tasker took over as Product Marketing Director, and in 2011 was appointed SVP for Asia and the Middle East.

“This reorganisation is another major step in our plan to reposition our brand and drive sales growth and customer value,” said Tim Thorsteinson, Quantel and Snell CEO. “In line with the new structure, all our worldwide account managers will be representing the entire Snell and Quantel product offering, significantly widening our customer engagement and reach into the market worldwide.”
