Globecast Names McAree VP Sales, Eastern U.S. (HITS)
Media solutions provider Globecast has named Gerry McAree as its new VP of sales for the Eastern U.S., where he’ll lead East Coast sales efforts. McAree brings nearly two decades experience to the role, working with both broadcasters and content owners, including for satellite operators PanAmSat and Intelsat. He comes to Globecast after stints at Intelsat, where he served as director of North America media sales, and as VP of sales for Arena, a software-as-a-service company based in Maryland.
“Gerry’s leadership skills and ability to drive creative solutions in competitive markets will be a huge asset to the already strong sales force we have in the Americas for Globecast,” said Tim Jackson, SVP of sales and marketing at Globecast. “He has the background necessary to help our customers understand the changing nature of this dynamic market, especially as we see a shift toward IP, virtualization and cloud services. We’re delighted to welcome Gerry to our growing team.”
McAree added: “Globecast has a proven track record in content delivery, and it’s an honor to be working with such a dynamic company. I’m looking forward to building upon the success in the US and working closely with our customers so they can maximize the monetization of their content.”
