Zappware adds former Verimiatrix exec to commercial team

Zappware has hired Verimatrix’s former vice present of sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Pierre Hunter.

Hunter, who has some 25 years of experience in the pay TV space, joins Zappware’s commercial team and will assist the company in its strategic business development.

“We firmly believe that Zappware’s product portfolio is ready to address a substantially larger customer base,” said Zappware CEO, Patrick Vos. “Not only in Europe, but we target to further develop our business in the LATAM, Middle-East and APAC regions.

“We have anticipated this and have been looking to attract captains of industry who can support us in this expansion. This resulted in the recruitment of Pierre Hunter, who has joined Zappware as of today.”

Hunter said: “Our industry is constantly evolving, both technologically and commercially. A key strength is my ability to successfully adapt to these constant changes. I’m excited to join Zappware on this international growth journey.”

Hunter worked at Verimatrix from 2008 to 2018. Prior to this he held commercial roles at Irdeto and Amino.
