Quantel announced
the appointment of Cory Factor as Vice President of Sales
of its North American subsidiary, Quantel Inc.
Factor joins Quantel with very considerable expertise at the
sharp end of new broadcast technology development and implementation,
and has worked closely with many broadcasters around the world
to successfully deliver new media solutions alongside their
traditional broadcast infrastructure.
Factor co-founded DayPort in 1999, and guided its pioneering
development of online applications in broadcasting, with a
particular emphasis on merging the internet and broadcasting
to deliver VOD applications.
Factor first became acquainted with Quantel in 2004 when DayPort
and Quantel worked closely together at BSkyB in the UK to
implement a publishing toolset for IPTV, VOD, internet and
mobile output from Sky's Quantel-based production system.
Following the acquisition of DayPort by Entric (which was
subsequently merged with Irdeto) in 2008, Factor took on the
role of CTO to lead the Irdeto Solutions Group.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Quantel at such an exciting
time in our industry," Factor said. "Quantel has
highly innovative technology in both the post and broadcast
arenas with more on the way. Its file-based workflows and
open platforms can bring tremendous benefits to broadcasters,
and Quantel's leadership in Stereo3D is helping to forge a
whole new business opportunity around the world. We have a
fantastic opportunity to expand our base in North America,
and I'm looking forward to leading our excellent team there
in achieving that goal."
"I've known and respected Cory Factor for a number of
years now," said Quantel Sales & Marketing Director,
Martin Mulligan, "and I'm delighted that he has joined
us to help us achieve our ambitious growth plans in North
America. Cory's deep knowledge of the market and clear view
of what it needs to move forward will be a tremendous asset
to Quantel."
