Following the creation of its two technology business units in January, Telestream has announced an expansion of its leadership team. Alistair Butler joins the company to serve as Chief Sales Officer, leading the sales organisations for the companys Media Production and Workflow business unit and its Video Quality Monitoring and Analytics business unit.
Commenting on the appointment, CEO Scott Puopolo said: Telestream has become the de-facto standard for encoding, transcoding, automated workflow and video monitoring solutions. To maintain that position, we must serve customers effectively and efficiently.
As we move into a new era of OTT video distribution, our customers look to Telestream for expertise in previously disparate areas of video production and distribution. Alistair has demonstrated an ability to orchestrate teams with diverse backgrounds and skill sets, which means our customers can expect even more comprehensive support from Telestream in achieving their video delivery and business goals.
The move to a single sales team will enable Telestream business units to bring the benefits of its entire portfolio to customers to better improve their business performance, the release stated.
Most recently, Butler served as head of Cisco Systems Service Provider Services business in the Americas. Prior to that, Butler held sales leadership roles at Cisco Systems. He began his career at Motorola in the UK.
Butler holds an MA in Organisational Change Leadership from Columbia University in New York, NY, and a BSc in Information Technology and Geology from the University of Leicester, UK.
