November 16, 2010

Media distribution and network management solutions provider Minicom Digital Signage (MDS) has announced that it is naming Amir Shaked as the president of the company's North Americas region.

Shaked brings to MDS 25 years of experience in the technology industry and in executive management. Previously, Shaked was president of Press-sense's operations in the Americas, where he grew the company's revenues by more than 60 percent during the current recession, the announcement says, by strengthening Press-sense's relationships with its OEMs, resellers and direct customers.

"I look forward to working together with Dave Haar and the rest of the MDS team in order to get MDS to the next level in market leadership in North America," Shaked said in the announcement. "We will do this by continuing to enhance MDS' value in the marketplace, through transparency, execution, exceptional service and bold new offerings, building trust and results among our customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders."

Shaked has a B.Sc. (Summa Cum Laude) in Computer Science and Mathematics from Tel Aviv University.

"With MDS' several new product family launches and our increased effort to take a larger stake of the digital signage pie, the time is right to expand our team," MDS CEO Ronni Guggenheim said. "Amir is joining us as a seasoned, highly experienced manager with a proven track record in the technology field. Amir will focus on our growth strategy and take the North America's market to the next level."
