Located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, David has accumulated 10+ years of experience providing hardware and software solutions as well as services to the digital TV market. After starting his career as an application engineer at NXP, a set-top box (STB) chipset maker, then as a connectivity expert at Pace, a STB manufacturer, he significantly participated to the rise of SmarDTV, a Kudelski owned STB manufacturer. He gradually moved from Senior QA Engineer to Product Marketing Manager and spent the last three years in Brazil holding support, marketing, and business development positions serving LATAM customers for SmarDTV and for NAGRA, a content protection and multiscreen television solutions provider.
Hans-Jürgen Désor, CEO of iWedia, said, "I warmly welcome David in the team. A genuine multicultural manager, well inserted in the LATAM Pay TV ecosystem, he has the right background to promote our STB software solutions towards service providers in the region."
David commented, "LATAM is a strategic market for iWedia, and I am delighted to be tasked with building its success in the region. Even though it is an extremely price sensitive market with respect to STB, its rapid growth requires innovative and advanced functionalities. This is what iWedia brings with its Teatro range of STB software solutions which targets low and mid-end configurations without compromising on features".
