Telco's & Operators

Beginning his career at Caspian One in 2009, Phil has worked intensely across the full broadcast chain, delivering on both contract and permanent assignments. Initially, Phil’s focus was targeted to distribution technologies, which as result, built solid grounding for his work today with Telco’s in Europe - operating in-and-around video content delivery. Phil has also worked closely alongside equipment manufacturers, product and technical sales candidates; and it’s this breadth of experience which has developed his unusual, rounded understanding of the industry’s people, products, workflows and technologies. Phil is a bright, tenacious individual who is proud of his work and loyal to the people he supports. He is also capable of identifying, accessing and engaging candidates with skills often in high, competitive demand.

Nicky is highly driven, motivated and genuine in her approach. She has previously worked across the full media chain in many locations, including the UK, USA, EMEA and Russia. Today, Nicky heads-up management responsibilities for all sales hiring activities and search assignments, working with mid to senior-level salespeople throughout Production, Post and Broadcast industry segments. Four years of working solely with salespeople, and a hands-on sales background, has helped Nicky develop a solid understanding of go-to-market strategies, both direct and indirect; with insights on companies along the supply chain, their histories and products, and their associated communities. Her proudest moment has been the complete build-out of European sales teams, on two separate occasions, from the ground up.

His clients also include companies that that deliver contribution, distribution and delivery services to media & entertainment clients. Ralph is all about communication, taking a non-assumptive, personal, yet methodical approach to recruitment. His prior career experience has provided Ralph with a window into the world of sales and taught disciplines such as active listening which help today - both in Ralph’s position as a recruiter and in his ability to relate to candidates and clients in his network.
