Green Hippo Announce New Technical Sales Manager for Asia

Green Hippo is continuing their push into the Asian market with the appointment of a new technical sales manager for the region.

Last year saw the North London-based company directing their focus on Asia, with both sales director James Heron and head of sales Samantha Bailey travelling extensively in this territory. These efforts culminated in the signing of new distributors for various countries, including Hong Kong and Thailand as well as a specially arranged training week in London for all their Asian partners in the summer 2011.

Green Hippo's new technical sales manager-Asia, Justin Fitzpatrick, is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and will be part of the growing sales team, which also saw the recent addition of Tom Etra, technical sales manager-EMEA. Fitzpatrick comes with broad experience including positions as sales director for a UK based nurse call system and creative director for advertising agency in Kuala Lumpur handling key accounts with renowned brands, plus 10 years as a producer and creative director for clients around Asia including Montblanc and Louis Vuitton.

"I am very proud and excited to be joining Green Hippo's sales team. When the opportunity arose I had no hesitation as it is such an innovative company with world class products. Having used Hippotizer media servers for the last few years I was hooked on their power and versatility allowing our creative team to produce amazing visuals for our events. Based in Asia I will be working with all our distributors and clients in the region to help support and promote the Hippotizer product range throughout the rapidly expanding Asian market."

Samantha Bailey will be spending several weeks in Asia this spring introducing Justin to the company's distributors. "We are very pleased to welcome Justin to the team; he not only has a wealth of sales experience but is also well versed in the product. We are confident that his appointment will not only support the existing customers but will help us gain new ones"

Fitzpatrick will also attend Green Hippo's annual conference, BigCon, taking place in February at an undisclosed location in the wilds of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
