Industry veteran Masa Kato has been appointed as the company’s director of business development for the APAC region
Gravity Media Group, a global provider of live broadcast facilities and production services, has named Masahiko (Masa) Kata as its director of business development for the APAC region.
In the newly created role, Masa will help to bring Gravity Media’s range of services and innovative approach to live production to the Asia-Pacific market. Masa joins Gravity Media from Hitachi Kokusai Electronic, where he was most recently corporate officer and general manager of the company’s video and communications systems business unit, and in charge of overseeing its global sales strategy.
Eamonn Dowdall, chief revenue officer at Gravity Media Group, said: “We’re seeing real momentum build within our operations in EMEA, Australia and North America, and are now getting increased demand from across Asia for our services, so it’s important we can address this locally.
“In Masa, we have found the ideal candidate for this job, someone who is hugely respected, has a wealth of relevant experience, and has worked alongside us previously as part of our successful sales partnership with Hitachi Kokusai Electronic. We look forward to him helping us to better serve this important region.”
