job
Sony as a project engineer and then project leader
Sony Broadcast & Professional Europe.
I was responsible for the design, implementation
and commissioning of turn-key broadcast systems, across all disciplines of production, post-
production and transmission.
In addition to the projects I was directly involved with, I helped revolutionise the way the
department worked in terms of design, time and cost efficiency. By changing working practices and production methods, project timescales were dramatically reduced. The end result was a more cost
effective, higher specification product, delivered in shorter timescales. This directly benefited both Sony and its customers.
