Salzbrenner Stagetec Mediagroup has expanded its distribution team with the appointment of Keith Prestidge as the Senior Director of Sales for the Asia market and General Manager of the Malaysia branch office, and Marco Kraft heading the company’s sales activities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Southern/Eastern Europe.
Kraft possesses first-hand experience of broadcast and A/V having begum his career in 1996 as a Sales Engineer for JVC Professional’s audio and video products. Between 2000 and 2012, he held various managerial posts and was promoted to Sales Director for Central and Eastern Europe. He then joined Dimetis as Sales Manager for the company’s network management systems in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
‘Contributing to the corporate development of a long-standing market leader like the Mediagroup is a fascinating challenge,’ he says.
Prestidge brings more than 20 years’ professional-audio and broadcast experience in the Asia-Pacific region, having most recently been Sales Director Asia Pacific at Studer Professional Audio. Before joining Harman, he spent ten years at Klotz Digital Asia as General Manager and earlier as Technology Director.
‘I have always admired the Mediagroup’s technological edge, especially with respect to its mixing consoles,’ he says. ‘And I’m proud to say that the Delec intercom systems are continually pushing boundaries, an impressive example of which can be found at the Sydney Trains stations in Australia. I very much look forward to presenting the Mediagroup’s cutting-edge technology to the widest possible Asian customer base.’
