Rob has worked in high tech for four decades, establishing himself as a veritable veteran of the moving image.
He has spent time in engineering, sales and marketing, in positions spanning the content-creation, distribution, and transmission industries and more recently AV. Previously, he was an active member of the International Association of Broadcast Manufacturers, serving on its technical sub-committee as well as presenting technical sessions for the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers in London (including 'resettlement' courses for those leaving the UK military) , the Control Room Summit and AV Broadcast Summit - both in Europe and for Infocomm University in Dubai and the US.
His education includes a CTS. He also has degrees in Information and Communication Technologies (BSc) and Electrical and Electronic Engineering (BSc). Additionally, he complemented this with a Chartered Institute of Marketing post-graduate diploma.
He has been with Matrox Video for 20 years over which time has been associated with many projects, large and small – national and international. His current remit is the furtherance of strategic partnerships - both technological and organizational. He is particularly involved with the new IPMX open standard - the AV focussed extension to ST2110.
Rob is held in high regard internationally for his technology training sessions and was recognised by Infocomm in 2016 as a ‘distinguished talent’ in the industry.
An Italian living in Sweden. I have found my passion in marketing and communication as the perfect path to unify goals and strategies. Lately, I've been focusing on promoting IoT solutions for schools and hospitals, making them aware of the advantages of IP-based device and how they can enhance quality care and student learning experience, beyond general security.
