Following its acquisition of DNF Controls in 2019, TSL Products had made two senior-level appointments with Ian Godfrey taking the role of President of TSL Inc. (the company’s US-based lead office in Northridge, CA) and Head of Control Systems (worldwide), and Robin Adams taking his place as Worldwide Sales Director at TSL Products.
Founder Dan Fogel is stepping out of the company to pursue other interests, with Tom Dickinson, who was responsible for helping bring the two businesses together, announcing his retirement.
Godfrey formerly served as Senior Product Manager at Telestream, where he was responsible for leading file-based workflow and media processing of the brand’s Vantage solution. Prior to this position, he spent much of his career at Grass Valley, including the period when Snell Advanced Media (SAM), Miranda and NVision were acquired. Joining the TSL team, Godfrey brings with him solid experience in control and monitoring systems, and router control while also building on his customer support experience.
As Head of Control Systems for both the Marlow and Northridge portfolio, Godfrey carries the responsibility of defining and delivering strategies to develop the company’s control business. ‘With years of experience working alongside broadcast solutions manufacturers and managing the development of control solutions for multiple brands, I am eager to bring my acquired skills to the TSL team,’ he says. ‘Having spent a great deal of time working in the broadcast industry, I am excited to carry TSL’s impressive performance into the future with steady growth through innovative product developments that will stand the test of time.”’
Adams, meanwhile, becomes new Worldwide Sales Director, building on 20 years in sales, most recently at EditShare where he held the position of Vice President. Prior to his time at EditShare, he held leadership sales roles at EVS, Quantel and Softel.
‘With years of experience being accountable for sales-cycle management to identify and satisfy customer needs, I am well-prepared to launch this new role on a global level, working closely and transparently with TSL’s regional sales managers,’ he says. ‘I look forward to continue driving TSL’s sales for years to come.’
