Riedel Networks, a Riedel Group company, has appointed Timo Koch to the position of Chief Commercial Officer for its Media Division. Reporting to Michael Martens, CEO of Riedel Networks, Koch will oversee the company’s commercial and business development in the media and entertainment sector.
A complement to the company’s Enterprise Division focused on SD-WAN, network edge, security and cloud solutions for the corporate sector, the Riedel Networks Media Division leverages its long-standing experience in broadcast, sports and live events to deliver a portfolio of networking solutions tailored to the needs of the media and entertainment market.
Koch spent most of his professional career in the outside broadcast (OB) and production facility business. After his own OB operation in Belgium was acquired by the NEP Group, he remained to initiate work on major international sports events. By combining early adoption of the latest technologies with an experienced and passionate team of engineers and operators, the company became a production partner for the most challenging events around the globe. Later, Koch oversaw Euro Media Group’s (EMG) international business, its deployment of a large IP fly-away system, and the integration of various business units, such as EMG’s RF operation.
‘As the broadcast industry is rapidly moving into remote production and fully IP-controlled environments, I am thrilled to add my long-lasting broadcast experience to the Riedel Networks team,’ Koch says. ‘I am convinced that we can bring a very attractive offer to the market by leveraging Riedel’s expertise in the entire content workflow.’
