PPDS, global provider of Philips digital signage, interactive displays, dvLED and videowalls, professional TVs, and dedicated AV software, announced the promotion of experienced AV engineer, Jan Van Tieghem, as its new Director of Technical Sales Support.
“I am hugely excited to have been given the opportunity and responsibility to lead the EMEA Technical Sales Support team,” said Jan in a statement. “The transformation and growth of the business over the past 15 years have been extraordinary, evolving from a traditional manufacturer of displays to one that now offers one of the industry’s most complete choice of total solutions, with software – developed in-house and with third-party providers – now a key strategic focus.”
“We will continue to build upon the achievements of the team and work hard to ensure we lead from the front to bring the world’s best support and solutions to our partners and customers. It’s a great new challenge and I’m very much looking forward to the journey ahead.”
Jan’s association with Philips began in 2006 when he joined the company as a System Validation Engineer. Since then, Jan’s knowledge and skillset have continued to expand and evolve through a number of important team leadership positions, supporting PPDS’ strategy to deliver total solutions across the market verticals and through the full spectrum of display solutions.
Jan will now lead support teams across all PPDS product ranges – digital signage including ePaper, interactive displays, videowalls, dvLED, and professional TVs – located in the company’s innovation center in Ghent, Belgium, and throughout all regions in EMEA, including Benelux, CEE, DACH, France, Iberia, Italy, the Nordics, SEE, and UK and Ireland.
“Jan is a long-serving and highly respected member of the PPDS team, who has shown throughout his career unwavering commitment and professionalism to deliver on the company’s ambitions,” said Martijn van der Woude, VP Global Marketing and Business Development at PPDS. “Jan’s natural team leadership skills, together with an unparalleled knowledge and experience of Philips Professional Displays, make him the ideal candidate to lead our team into the future. I wish Jan every success in his new role.”
