A familiar provider of digital signage for the restaurant industry — Dayton, Ohio-based Stratacache — has named a veteran of the outdoor menu board business to lead the company's display solutions initiatives. Bruno Pupo has been named vice president of display solutions, according to a news release.

Pupo brings more than 25 years of experience in sales, marketing and engineering with companies like, NEC, LG Electronics and most recently, Vertigo Digital Displays. He will focus exclusively on the outdoor menu board sector, which is also one of Stratacache’s main business focuses. 

"Bruno is seen as a subject matter expert in the area of display technology and has a strong record of delivering results working with leading companies and technologies specifically in the outdoor space," said Stratacache CEO Chris Riegel, in a news release about the appointment. "By leveraging his extensive industry knowledge and his foundational engineering and sales experience, we are confident Bruno will identify and connect with customers to lead the rapid growth of the outdoor menu board segment."

The company said that Pupo entered the business as an engineering team leader for the first audio and video digital encryption platform, which was used then strictly for satellite communications. He transitioned to sales and marketing leadership about 20 years ago and has become an authority in the area of signage and display technology. 

"The digital signage market segment and its associated supply chain is experiencing a high level of growth.Competent supply of products, services and expertise is being challenged by client demand for flawless execution and solutions that deliver positive business impact," Pupo said. "As a leader with an established list of tier 1 clients and infinitely scalable network, Stratacache represents one of few companies in this sector with the resources, strategy and competence to supply end-to-end digital signage solutions and services that deliver measurable return on client investments."
