Continuing with its development plan to expand its services globally, Chauvet has appointed Antonio Parise to the position of EMEA business development manager. In his new position, Parise will be responsible for Chauvet’s family of Chauvet Professional, Chauvet DJ, and Iluminarc brands.
Based in Rimini, Italy, Parise will work with Goran Dončić, the company’s current European business development manager in that market, in addition to being responsible for serving customers in Africa. He and Dončić will both report directly to Stéphane Gressier, Chauvet’s international sales director.
“As a company, Chauvet has been extremely pleased with the way our brands have been embraced throughout EMEA market,” said Gressier. “As we continue to grow, we want to ensure that our distributors and dealers continue to receive the uncompromising level of support that they have come to associate with the Chauvet name. Given Antonio’s impressive track record in this industry, we’re confident that he will help us take things to the next level and help our customers drive new sales opportunities.”
A highly respected industry figure, Parise has extensive experience in a wide range of lighting markets, including touring, theater, broadcast and architectural. Before joining Chauvet, he was the export sales manager at Music & Lights SRL, and prior to that held similar positions at D.T.S. Illuminazione SRL, and SGM.
“Chauvet has been a company on the move in all the markets I serve,” Parise said. “This is not only the result of its excellent products, but also because of its complete commitment to service. So, I am absolutely excited about joining this team, since I believe in what this company is doing.”
