Pharos Expands its Sales Team
David Barnes joins Pharos as Director of Sales
Pharos announces a new addition to its Reading-headquarters staff with the appointment of David Barnes as Director of Sales.
"David Barnes joins us as we introduce the Mediator family of broadcast workflow management systems," comments Pharos Commercial Director Roger Heath. "These are far more operator-friendly than any comparable system hitherto introduced to the market. Pharos has evolved an extremely efficient method of analysing the minute-by-minute operational activity within playout centres and broadcast networks. We are using that knowledge to create an evolving range of task-specific user interfaces which are far easier for operators to work with than the GUIs found in traditional MAM systems. David will help us roll out that message to the broadcast community."
A Chartered Engineer with a B.Sc. (Honours) degree in Engineering Technology, David Barnes began his career in 1981 as an electronics engineer at Racal-Carlton. He progressed to IBM in 1984, working in senior engineering and project management roles. Then followed six years in sales management for subcontract manufacturing with ADFlex and World Circuit Technology before joining Tandberg Television in July 2000, initially as Senior Account Manager and, from 2004, as Sales Manager. He reports to Commercial Director Roger Heath.
Based in Reading, England, Pharos Communications (www.pharos-comms.com) is focused on software architecture for broadcast process management. Since its formation in 1997, the company has developed a wide range of systems for automating the flow of material through broadcast facilities including playout presentation, media asset management, archiving, and facility management.
