Fliss, who reports directly to Dace, added, “Having been in the AV industry for more than 15 years, I’m very familiar with Magenta’s products and their reputation for quality. I’m looking forward to driving sales of Magenta’s proven MultiView and Mondo Matrix Cat 5-based products, as well as the company’s innovative Voyager Series of fiber-optic based extension, distribution and switching products.”

 

Also reporting to Dace is Director of Marketing Patricia Booher, a veteran of 20 years in professional AV and consumer electronics.

"I'm delighted to be joining Magenta at a time when the company is poised for dramatic growth," added Booher. "The flexibility and performance of Magenta’s switching and distribution technologies give us a tremendous advantage as large-scale markets like digital signage gather even greater momentum. I’m looking forward to reaffirming Magenta’s industry leadership.”
