Norcross, Georgia-based LED display solutions provider NanoLumens today announced what it is calling "a significant expansion of its European sales and marketing programs" with the appointment of a new vice president of EMEA and the opening of a new sales and support office in London to serve the region.

"With our United States sales and marketing programs now very well established, the time is right for NanoLumens to make a meaningful commitment to the development of the EMEA region," NanoLumens Executive Vice President of Business Development Karen Robinson said in the announcement. "We are very pleased to announce that these efforts will be led by David DaCosta, the former chairman of the Limited Space Media Group. David co-founded the Limited Space Media Group to consolidate intrinsically viable but fragmented businesses in the digital out-of-home industry to create a convergent media group serving the needs of advertisers and corporate customers."

Effective immediately, DaCosta is responsible for the development and implementation of all administrative, operational, sales, marketing and technical support programs for the entire EMEA region. He reports directly to NanoLumens Vice President of Sales Rick Bortles. "I can think of no more exciting industry opportunity than to assume responsibility for the EMEA market success of this dynamic, forward-looking technology leader," DaCosta said in the announcement.

DaCosta started his career at GUS in both the retail and distribution areas of the group. Subsequently he spent five years in the U.S. working in IT and electronic games distribution. He then served in the medical insurance and administration industry working with Lloyds of London syndicates in developing and providing global medical repatriation coverage for expats specifically those in the oil sector. After this, DaCosta entered the world of wireless digital media in 2002. He has spent the past decade building digital media platforms in the transport sector for network rail, in the medical sector at primary and secondary health locations, in the leisure sector with national and regional sports stadia, and in retail installing digital networks at primary and secondary shopping malls throughout the U.K.

DaCosta also is the founder of Missing Kids TV, a non-profit organization set up to invite DOOH networks to participate in assisting law enforcement with immediately broadcasting Amber Alert warnings.

The new NanoLumens European sales and support office is located at 28 Bolton Street, London W1J 8BP, United Kingdom. DaCosta can be reached at DDacosta@nanolumens.com.
