In Memnon’s Bloomington, Indiana, US, facility, Ian MacDonald becomes sales operations manager for the US, Australia and New Zealand, having originally been hired as an imaging operator in 2016.

Finally, Auston Germany has been named global head of software solutions. Germany joined as an operator in 2015, and will now be responsible for developing and customising Memnon’s proprietary workflow orchestration software.

Heidi Shakespeare, CEO of Memnon, said: “Invaluable assets in the media industries are at risk more than they’ve ever been due to playback machine obsolescence and physical carriers degrading to the point that they can’t be saved. 

“It’s important that service providers like Memnon have passionate teams of experts that customers can put trust in to help address this huge challenge. These new appointments celebrate the achievements of our team and their dedication to delivering for clients with Memnon’s values of expertise and passion.”

She added: “We get so much positive and generous feedback from customers about our team, and we’re thrilled that Adam, Olivier, Auston and Ian will continue that trend. As they step into their new roles, we’re excited to see them grow on their own personal journeys as well. We’re at a significant stage in Memnon’s growth, and it’s reassuring to know our customers are in such good hands.”
