Marlé previously led Verimatrix’s APAC pre-sales activity and held product, technical account management and project engineering roles with SITA, Viaccess Orca, and eServGlobal. He holds master’s degrees in computer science from the University of Montreal as well as University Denis Diderot in Paris.
“MVPDs and telco providers in the Asia-Pacific market have been among the most innovative in leveraging the power of the cloud and open architectures,” said Jim Vinh, head of APAC sales for Quickplay. “With the addition of Xavier, we’re continuing to up our game in the region by providing our customers and prospects with access to world-class sales and support that can expedite deployments and business success.”
