Absen Hires Philippe Poppe as
Business Development Manager
LED display manufacturer, Absen, has
hired Philippe Poppe as its new business
development manager for the Benelux
(Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg)
region.
Poppe has a strong background
in the corporate AV market, having
worked at Harman, AMX and Crestron
and will primarily be tasked with helping
Absen to build its fixed installation
business in the area. In addition, he
will work closely with Absen’s local
distributors and system integrators
(VADs/VAPs) and help develop the
company’s regional channel strategy.
Poppe started at Crestron in 2007
and was focused on the Benelux region
as a technical sales manager, before
moving away from the tech side of
things to work as a sales manager. In
2011, Poppe moved to AMX, which was,
in turn, acquired by Harman in 2013.
“At Harman in 2018 I worked
internationally in the EMEA region,
specialising in the corporate, education,
and government verticals,” said Poppe.
Absen Welcomes Back Ben Phelps
as Retail Industry Director
“Despite this
relatively narrow
focus, Harman’s
vast distribution network and presence
in the rental market taught me a great
deal in terms of end user engagement
and business development.”
In his new role at Absen, Poppe
will use his extensive knowledge of
the Benelux region to manage dayto-day
activities with local distributor
Van Domburg Partners, as well
as building strong relationships
with key resellers in the region.
“The Benelux market sees a lot
of investment, given its relatively
small geographical size,” Poppe said.
“It is a very dense market, especially
in the Netherlands, where they are
keen to adopt new technologies as
early as possible. Our next target is
the major universities in the area,
for whom the capabilities of LED
over projection in key auditoriums
can really allow them to distance
themselves from their competitors.” n
LED display manufacturer, Absen, has re-hired Ben Phelps as
its retail industry director. Phelps’ focus will be on developing
retail opportunities in Europe, as well as supporting Absen
sales teams and systems integrators worldwide.
“A lot of the major retailers have headquarters in Europe, so we know
there is plenty of opportunity to grow Absen’s burgeoning retail portfolio.
Thanks to my time in the region I already have great relationships with a lot of
very capable local integrators.”
Phelps started in the LED industry through his time with Spanish
systems integrator, Trison. He explained: “The company only had 15
employees when I first arrived and focused primarily on audio integration
projects. Through its dealings with fashion retailer Inditex, Trison became
involved in selling LED into the industry; a decision that eventually
saw 5,000 LED screens being sold to stores in 100 countries.
“it’s an honour for me to be able to return to a company that I respect
so much, and a company that has been at the forefront of the LED industry
for many years,” he concluded. “I have full confidence in the products
that we are offering and I’m sure Absen has a very bright future.” n
