Telestream appoints Chris Drake as VP

August 4, 2017 11.09 Europe/London By Robert Briel

Telestream has appointed Chris Drake as VP of business and corporate development reporting directly to CEO Dan Castles.

“Few companies can boast the long-term success, financial stability and customer loyalty that we enjoy at Telestream, but we aren’t becoming complacent with that success. Instead, we are building medium- and long-term strategies that will help both Telestream and our customers reach our full growth potential,” commented Castles.

“In Chris Drake, we have secured an energetic and thoroughly experienced business development executive who is an excellent fit with Telestream’s collaborative culture and will help drive us to the next level and far beyond. I’m pleased to welcome Chris to the team.”

Chris Drake brings to Telestream more than 20 years of sales, business development, product and management experience. He joins the company from Comcast Technology Solutions where he was Vice President, Business Development. Prior to that, he held various senior business development, marketing and strategic relations roles at the Platform and RealNetworks.

“Having spent more than 20 years in broadcast and media technology, I am more excited now than ever about the opportunities – and challenges – facing our industry,” said Chris Drake.

“I am thrilled to have found a company that shares this optimism and is well positioned for continued growth and investment.”
