D.A.V.I.D. Reorganizes to Emphasize Innovation and R&D
D.A.V.I.D., a member of the Silex Media Group since Spring 2007, continues its course of expansion to capture additional markets and new fields of application with its powerful broadcast portfolio for radio, TV, Internet and mobile media content channels.
D.A.V.I.D.’s co-founder Michael Wittmann will guide the company’s technology roadmap, particularly in the converged spaces of Visual Radio and multimedia content development and distribution. Henri Volk, as Director of R&D, will enforce the highest standards for product development especially in the areas of security, interoperability and quality assurance. Volk is a senior manager with a proven track record of managing international development teams at leading companies such as NICE Systems where he most recently was the head of product development.
“IBC has been a tremendous success for both of our companies,” said Stephan K. Schindler, Silex Media CEO and managing director of D.A.V.I.D. “The market is eager to work with partners who demonstrate innovation in key areas like content creation and distribution. I’m delighted that Michael Wittmann will be focused on driving our creative efforts and I’m impressed by Henri Volk’s track record for delivering mission critical products.”
This new arrangement will provide D.A.V.I.D.’s strategic accounts with the technological innovations that they rely upon with more regular product releases and a reduction to the time new services become available.
“Gerhard Moeller, in all his years of service to D.A.V.I.D., has been an important voice for our customers,” said Schindler. “We’re looking for the best ways to keep his immense talent close to the company. As we look to the future, I will seek a new leader to further expand D.A.V.I.D. as a technology company. “
