Sonnox has appointed Giles Farley to the newly created post of International Sales Manager, responsible for the company’s international reseller channel.
Previously MD of the Pinewood Group’s Post Production Department since 2010, Farley began his career with Digidesign/Avid in 1993 as International Product Specialist. His love of film prompted a 1999 move into postproduction, where he helped create a multi-room Pro Tools complex for Shepperton Studios. That facility centralised audio editorial and mixing services for many major Hollywood studios. Following Shepperton’s 2001 merger with Pinewood Studios, Farley helped expand those services (and the studio’s client base), as Head of International Post Production Sound.
In 2008 he and colleague, Dennis Weinreich were named co-Managing Directors of the Pinewood Group’s Post Production Department. Their responsibilities included audio, picture, asset management and restoration services for the film, TV and games sectors. When Weinreich left the firm in 2010, Farley was named sole MD.
‘Giles has a vast knowledge of the audio postproduction ecosystem, from both the technical and the practitioner perspectives,’ says Senior Sales & Marketing Manager, Nathan Eames. ‘Sonnox plug-ins are finding wider acceptance in TV, feature film and broadcast applications, and we are confident that Giles will be highly effective in further expanding our user base.’
‘The experience I’ve gathered in software, music and postproduction will be invaluable in helping me grow the Sonnox business and in serving our international reseller network,” Farley says. ‘The Oxford team is uniformly brilliant, and their enthusiasm for their work is genuinely inspiring. I very much look forward to working with this extraordinary group.’
