With more than 20 years of industry experience, Foo joins the company with expertise in market assessment, sales funnel development and analysis, technology partnerships, growth strategies and channel partner relationship management, Chyron said.

The company also has appointed Wanlop Wattanadussadee as a technical account manager. Based in Thailand, he comes to Chyron with a range of sales and relationship management skills and a strong knowledge of broadcast technology and workflows. Wattanadussadee earned a Bachelor of Science in information technology and multimedia from King Mongkut’s University of Technology in North Bangkok.

Ahmad Nanaa, based in Kuwait, is Chyron’s new business development manager, Middle East. Nanaa has a wide network of industry connections and proven expertise in project management and technology.
