Magenta Research, the recognized leader in signal extension, distribution and switching, has appointed Thierry Destombes to the position of Business Development Manager for France. Destombes will play a key role in implementing Magenta’s growth strategy in this important European market, focusing on building relationships with new and existing customers and channel partners.
Destombes has a strong sales background in the IT and digital signage sectors, most recently serving as the France/Belgium Country Manager for Minicom Advanced Systems. Prior to that, Destombes was a Sales Manager for Avocent.
