New appointments for Netia

Media services provider Globecast’s Netia unit has named Mathieu Poussin as sales manager for the Middle East and Africa.

Séverine Olivier will take over Poussin’s former role as sales manager for western Europe.

Poussin joined Netia in May, having previously served as a sales engineer for DCI, where he specialised in prospecting and growing major accounts, as well as development and sales of information infrastructure solutions.

Olivier joined Netia in 2012 and most recently was head of project management in its operations division, where she handled deployment of the company’s solutions throughout Europe. She earlier founded and served as head of R&D at Zenvia, a company dedicated to using artificial intelligence technology to simulate human behaviour.

“In his time here at Netia so far, Mathieu has made the most of his background in both IT and media storage, leveraging this experience to bring our customers the infrastructure and media management solutions their operations demand. We expect Mathieu will continue to excel in his new territory,” said Thierry Gandilhon, general manager of Netia.

“Given her success working with our European clients and her impressive technical expertise, we are equally confident that Séverine will transition smoothly into her new position as sales manager for Western Europe.”
