Douglas Russell joins TVU Networks as northwest regional accounts manager

Based in Seattle, Russell comes to TVU Networks from a varied audio/visual background, including senior-level engineering positions at Amazon Prime Sports and Keycode Media and having spent time as field engineer at Raytheon.

While at Keycode Media, he worked his way up to an account manager role, advising clients on the optimal systems for live production, broadcast, streaming and post-production workflows. Russell also served as director of operations for live streaming company FlipOn.TV, and as product manager for audio equipment provider Behringer North America.
