We'd like to think that Rebecca Stein was promoted by Showcase Cinemas because she is one of our nominees on this year's Top Women In Global Cinema list. But alas, we know better... A well earned promotion for one of the cinema industry's superior talents.
VP Sales & Business Development Western Europe Barco Cinema
After having looked after our Premium Cinema business in EMEA ever since I came on board with Cinionic (a former Barco company) in 2020, and having temporarily represented our group for the past almost 2 years in the UK & Ireland, I feel honored having been asked by Serge Plasch and Gerwin Damberg to manage all Sales and Business Development in Western Europe in a VP role for Barco Cinema, covering the region with a great team including D-A-CH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland - managed by Markus Baumann), Benelux and Scandinavia (managed by Yuki Fonteyne) plus South Europe including France, Italy, Spain and Portugal (managed by Pedro Monsanto) and of course UK & IE (for the time being still managed by myself). Over and above this extended role, I will keep on managing the existing (CGS) and further development of our future Premium Business, including our revolutionary HDR-by-Barco technology. All of this already came into action on August 1, but now being back from summer holidays, I just wanted to let you know. Contact details will remain unchanged - looking forward to collaborate with a lot of new / old industry friends! (And I've got no idea how to get rid of this strange LinkedIn-auto-generated image coming with this post - sorry! 🤔 )
If you are attending the Cologne Film Festival next week you'll definitely want to check out the KinoConnect Workshop. Jan Runge's events are always very informative and well worth attending.
We attended Digital Cinema Media's #Upfronts Showcase last month, where their new research (with Burst Your Bubble) #TheCulturalPowerofCinema was revealed. Our readership knows better than anyone why cinema is the perfect space for creating a sense of community and alleviating loneliness - but it's brilliant to see the research backing it up: https://lnkd.in/ednahuez
Thanks Zoe Aresti for the invite, keep up the good work guys! 💪
