Search Firm Tackles Tough Task of Filling Top Sales Posts

October 8, 2015 – Major Executive Search has recruited Luc Comeau as vice president of sales for Levels Beyond in Denver. In his role, he will lead business development efforts for the company.

Mr. Comeau brings over 25 years of experience in facilitating solutions for clients in the broadcast and media communities. He most recently served as senior business development manager at Dalet Digital Media Systems, where he developed key markets in the digital media industry and collaborated with development teams to create solutions for a number of companies and broadcasters.

“We are delighted to have Luc join our team. He is, hands down, one of the most respected and far sighted executives working in our industry today. With his vision and perspective, he is going to be a strong addition to our team,” said Art Raymond, chief executive officer of Levels Beyond. “He has consistently proven that his knowledge of the technology and of his customers is extensive, and we look forward to working with him to develop strategic opportunities to fuel the company’s continued growth.”
