Globecast Names Jean-Christophe Perier Chief Marketing Officer

On the heels of several major announcements including its new U.S. facility, its partnership with Brklyn Media and its AWS cloud video headend for a major European telco, Globecast has appointed Jean-Christophe Perier as chief marketing officer, effective immediately.

In his new role, Perier leads both marketing communications and product marketing for Globecast and is responsible for steering the marketing and external communications strategy worldwide. Working with his team, Perier is focused on continuing to deploy innovative services that satisfy an ever-evolving marketplace, not least across IP and moves to the cloud. This is alongside the strengthening of external communications to support the company’s global strategic initiatives announced last year.

Perier brings extensive experience across broadcast, cloud, IPTV and OTT services, having worked with clients such as Canal+, NTV+, Sky, Etisalat and Orange during his time at Technicolor and SoftAtHome. He also created and managed Veygo, developing OTT and multiscreen solutions, with Huawei, Ooredoo, Telecentro and Vidgo as customers.

His appointment comes as Denis Genevois, Globecast’s previous head of marketing departs after 22 years with the company, having held several managerial positions in pre-sales, marketing and broadcast departments.

Philippe Bernard, Globecast CEO, said: “I would like to thank Denis for his commitment and his involvement with Globecast; he will be missed. We are delighted to welcome Jean-Christophe to the team and believe his expertise and leadership will be instrumental in driving Globecast’s growth and increasing our visibility and awareness in the markets that we serve.”
