IRVINE, Calif. — June 23, 2009 — Compix, a leading developer of broadcast-quality character generators (CGs), is pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa Kirtley as the company’s new director of sales. Kirtley will be responsible for developing, supporting, and managing Compix sales initiatives across the Americas and fostering continued expansion of the company’s business for a variety of industry sectors and markets.

“Compix sales are handled through a worldwide network of professional dealers and I am confident that by bringing on Lisa, we will continue to enhance the high standards of commitment and support that we have established for our channel and our customers,” said Veronica Kim, vice president of Compix Media. “With her extensive experience, deep insight into markets across the globe, and strong belief in the limited distribution sales model, Lisa will steer company sales initiatives in the right direction and continue to grow the ambitious new dealer incentive program we recently introduced this year. The increased availability of our products, complemented by localized sales and support, will make it easier than ever for customers to take advantage of our powerful and intuitive CG solutions.”

Kirtley brings with her more than 14 years of sales experience. In her most recent role as the director of channel sales for Crispin Corporation, a leading broadcast automation company, she oversaw company initiatives in sales and change management, business and dealer channel strategy, and product marketing. Kirtley was instrumental in developing, implementing, and managing a solid dealer channel program with limited distribution, helping the company to substantially increase revenues in a very short period of time.

Prior to working with Crispin Corporation, Kirtley was the national sales manager for Echolab, Inc. where she implemented sales management processes, revamped sales messages, and coordinated dealer channel strategies that helped company revenue growth by 100 percent. Kirtley earlier served as general manager and principal of Commercial Video Systems, Inc., where she was responsible for all aspects of operations, including accounting, inventory, sales, vendor relations, marketing, and systems integration.

“I am delighted to join Compix and to be part of this exciting, expanding company,” said Kirtley. “Compix has established itself as the promising new star in the character generator market, and I look forward to working with its team of committed, talented individuals.”

Kirtley holds a bachelor’s degree in graphic arts from Ball State University. She will be based in Austin, Texas.
