Telco's & Operators

I began my career at Caspian One in 2009, working intensely across the full broadcast chain, delivering on both contract and permanent assignments. Initially, my focus was targeted to distribution technologies, which as result, built solid grounding for the work I do today with Telco’s in Europe - operating in-and-around video content delivery. I have also worked closely alongside equipment manufacturers, product and technical sales candidates; and it’s this breadth of experience which has developed my unusual, rounded understanding of the industry’s people, products, workflows and technologies. I’m a tenacious individual who is proud of my work and loyal to the people I support. My strengths also include the capability to identify, access and engage with candidates that have skills which are often in high, competitive demand.

Working with a network that spans the full broadcast community, my focus as part of Caspian One’s Broadcast Technology division, is on sales professionals. Typically I’m responsible for sourcing Sales Directors, Managers, and Executives, across the full technology spectrum from video production to distribution. This is for technology vendors and service providers that deliver contribution, distribution and delivery services to media & entertainment clients. I believe in the value of clear communication, taking a non-assumptive, personal, yet methodical approach to recruitment. Over the past 18 months I have worked with sales professionals from across the entire broadcast ecosystem, learning and growing with each placement, and continuously developing my personal capabilities and community relationships.

Since 2004 I have been part of the Broadcast, Media and Entertainment industries community - sharing my 20 years of recruitment experience, market knowledge and industry insights with our clients and candidates; as-well-as the team at Caspian One. My approach is a refined mixture of market intelligence and awareness, combined with personal relationships, first-hand insights, and proven processes. I am someone who loves the challenge of tackling a new area or location, solving problems and finding skillsets where others have failed previously. I’m able to do this because of my detailed, analytical and tenacious techniques, coupled with a mature appreciation of the industry’s complete supply chain, and well-established people networks. Today I provides board-level input across the business; from day-to-day people management and mentoring, through to attendance of international events and trade shows, growth and direction planning based on his awareness of future technology trends, and broadcast marketing. In addition to this I manages a number of client accounts; believing in a personally responsible approach to recruitment, in-which expectations are managed, the quality of service is high, and deliverables are achieved.

With over 6 years experience recruiting both permanent and contract candidates across the financial services and construction industries, I have always enjoyed and had success partnering with both clients and internal recruitment teams - finding solutions to their staffing needs. Really understanding a business, its challenges and culture… and, being able to align a resourcing strategy with them, is crucial to success and something I do very well. Having always had an interest in broadcast and media, and being naturally inquisitive I’ve been able to immerse myself in the industry and become a trusted adviser to both candidates and clients. Building solid relationships with candidates and contractors is vital for ensuring you can find the right career choices or assignments for them - and enable them to further their careers. I take pride in what I do and understand just how critical it is be an embedded, reputed member of this industries community.

I work with Equipment Manufacturers, Software Vendors, System Integrators, and Resellers/Distributors based throughout Europe; focusing on identifying credible candidates for mid to senior-level technical vacancies, within the areas of Pre Sales, Solutions Architecture, Customer Support, Project Engineering & Project Management, and Product Management.
