Karlheinz Dern has joined Imagine Communications as a regional sales manager based in Munich, Germany. He will be responsible for several key accounts in Germany, as well as all customer activities across Switzerland.
Dern brings a wealth of experience to Imagine.

I will continue to build on established customer relationships and develop new ones that ensure Imagine maintains its position as a technology partner of choice for the broadcast and media community.”
Mathias Eckert, SVP APAC and EMEA for Imagine Communications, added, “Karlheinz has a proven track record of identifying, negotiating and closing deals through lengthy and complex sales cycles.
