Anver Anderson has been appointed to the newly created position of Business Development Director at the Association for International Broadcasting.
Anver’s role includes developing and implementing new services for the AIBs growing number of members, and ensuring that the existing services provided to members meet their needs.
“I’m delighted to be joining the AIB at a time when the organisation is growing, both in terms of number of members and in the work it is carrying out across international broadcasting,” says Anver. “There are many issues facing broadcasters and their service providers and partners, and the AIB has much to offer members across the areas of regulation, representation, intelligence and lobbying. It’s exciting to be involved in the development of the AIB’s work and in supporting its members.”
Anver is a former marketing director of satellite operator Europe*Star, where he was responsible for the company’s video markets strategy throughout the five regions covered by the Europe*Star satellite: Europe, Middle East, Southern Africa, Indian subcontinent and South East Asia. Most recently he was responsible for creating and introducing the company’s Occasional Use services. Previous positions include head of sales with the UK-based facilities management company and teleport operator Merlin Communications, director of European sales with Williams Vyvx Services, and Business Planning and Market Analysis manager at Inmarsat.
“Anver’s experience across the satellite and broadcasting industries, together with his strategic and analytical skills, will provide immense benefits to the AIB and our members,” comments Simon Spanswick, Chief Executive of the Association. “With Anver’s appointment, the AIB senior management team now has a complete range of skills that will enable the Association to further develop and bring new benefits to its members.”
