Datapath, provider of visual solutions, announced it has strengthened its North America operations with the appointment of Craig Childs as business development manager for the Midwest region.
Per the statement, Childs brings expansive audio visual knowledge to the role, with over 30 years of AV experience across various brands. These include Polk Audio, Atlona, Biamp and Crestron.
Effective immediately, Childs’ new role will see him working closely with Datapath’s senior sales team and director of sales (Americas), Mark Bohs. Together, they will drive new business — particularly for solutions involving Datapath’s Aetria solution for control rooms and multi-source video management.
Strengthening Operations in Midwest U.S.
Childs will cover Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota., says Datapath.
“I am very much aware of Datapath technology and its fantastic team. I’m delighted to be joining them and look forward to driving new business,” Childs remarks. “I have been familiar with their video processing innovation — across all vertical markets — for several years and have been particularly impressed with the drive and commitment to improve Control Room video operations. The Aetria solution is a huge step in advancing global control room operations, and I am really looking forward to contributing to that momentum here in Midwest U.S.”
Bohs adds, “We are thrilled to make this announcement and welcome Craig to the Datapath family. Craig brings a huge wealth of experience to the team, along with technical know-how and a vast professional network that make him the ideal choice for the role. For us, Midwest U.S. covers over a dozen states and is a key territory for Datapath. With the welcome addition of Craig, we have a strong coast-to-coast sales and support team to ensure our customers receive the highest levels of service in the U.S. — wherever they do business.”
