We’re delighted to welcome him to our growing team.”

Grenot said: “Globecast has such a solid portfolio and a truly talented leadership team in place that I’m happy to become part of. I’m looking forward to building upon the company’s success in France and working closely with our customers so they can harness the power of IP and the cloud and evolve with the changing times.”
