Oxnard, California, June 8, 2011 – Nevion, a leading video transport solutions provider for broadcasters, service providers and government entities worldwide, has appointed Jesse Foster as west coast regional sales manager. Based in Los Angeles, Foster will be responsible for direct sales to broadcast and post-production customers as well as managing relationships with OEMs on the west coast.
Foster brings a wealth of broadcast industry experience, joining from Evertz Microsystems where he was west coast senior sales manager.

Foster started his broadcast industry career at HD camera rental house Plus8Digital (now part of Panavision). As part of the camera engineering team, he worked closely with camera crews on set and on location for feature films and TV shows such as Minority Report, Arrested Development, and a Charlotte Church/Josh Groban show which, at the time, was the largest switched HD show with 12 HD cameras.
