Ikegami, a supplier of advanced cameras and production equipment for television content producers and broadcasters, has added Asim Saeed to its sales and support team as business development manager. Reporting to Ikegami Europe president Kenzo Ishizuka, Saeed will promote the full Ikegami range of broadcast and medical products to existing and potential customers.
“With over 70 years of experience in high-end image capture, processing and display, Ikegami is a highly respected brand with proven capabilities in terms of production quality, robustness and technical innovation,” Saeed commented. “It is a great opportunity to be joining the team at a time when the television industry is advancing into new technologies such as high dynamic range image capture and display, higher resolution standards such as 4K and 8K, and the many new production methods made possible by IP-based equipment control and signal distribution.”
Graduating with an MBA degree, Saeed joined a UAE-based system integrator in 2000 as a sales executive, responsible for Canon’s broadcast lens throughout the Middle East. He was promoted in 2006 to sales manager and from 2014 onwards to general manager. During that time, he successfully extended the company’s operations into new products and solutions.
