Hilles: ‘I see enormous development potential here for the DACH market’

After more than 25 years at Christie Digital, where he most recently held the position of executive director sales EMEA, Hilles has decades of experience in large-screen sales. In addition to co-ordinating the sales managers, Hilles’ new tasks include taking care of key accounts, co-ordinating with marketing at Leyard Europe and dealing with strategic partners.

“LED large screen solutions are one of the fastest growing technologies in the visualisation sector. With increasing acceptance and the replacement of outdated installations, I see enormous development potential here for the DACH market and look forward to accompanying this growth at one of the market leaders in a responsible role,” said Hilles.

“With our comprehensive portfolio of LED display products, LCD video walls, large-format display screens, video wall controllers and wall management software solutions, we want to further establish ourselves as a provider of end-to-end solutions in the market.”
