Riedel Communications has appointed Lucy O’Brien to the role of Customer Success Director, reporting to Executive Director for Customer Success, Craig Thompson and reflecting the company’s growth in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
O’Brien is a seasoned broadcast engineer with more than 20 years of industry experience. She got her start at leading UK-based media group BSkyB (later Sky), where she worked in roles including Technical Director of Sky Sports News and Interactive and Engineering Project Manager. Most recently, she served as group CTO at the European Media Group (EMG), a global provider of broadcast services and media solutions for live sports, entertainment and events, where she was responsible for leading the development of the company’s Europe-wide CTOs.
‘Lucy has an impressive history working with major broadcasters and operators over the past two decades, and is a natural fit within our organisation,’ Thompson says. ‘Her experience in developing client and vendor partnerships, as well as strategically providing solutions to complex technical challenges, will be essential to Riedel’s ongoing growth.’
‘I have been a customer of Riedel for many years, and I’m excited to shift roles and become part of this dynamic and innovative company — a key player in the live production industry,’ O’Brien says. ‘Customer success is a new chapter for me in my career, and I look forward to bringing my experience as a client to my work within the Riedel team. Even as we move forward with implementing key efficiency improvements that the team already has identified for clients, I’ll be listening to my team and our customers to learn where else we can deliver outstanding service.’
