SaaS video management platform Imagen is reporting that it has experienced a period of ‘substantial’ financial and structural growth after a recent Series B funding round worth £6.5 million.

The Imagen video management platform is designed to enable sports organisations, media companies and enterprise sectors to manage intelligently video content with enhanced functionality, control, and insight.

After the cash injection Imagen says that it is continuing to make its growth strategy a priority with a focus on expanding its presence in a number of markets and has appointed two senior figures to its executive team: David Parker as chief revenue officer, EMEA/APAC and Ryan Rolf as chief revenue officer, Americas.

As the newest addition to the Imagen team, Parker brings a track record of building sales and operational capability in the technology and SaaS arena, having held senior positions at HP, Experian and ON24. His focus will be on accelerating Imagen’s share of market within EMEA while building on the success it has seen in the APAC region.

Rolf joins Imagen to oversee the development of strategic sales and client account management, with a clear focus on increasing new client wins and opening up partnership opportunities in the US. He has been hired to play a critical role as Imagen looks to advance its operations in the US and rapidly expand its presence within the sports, media and enterprise markets.

“We are delighted to add David and Ryan to the team,” said Imagen CEO Charlie Horrell. “Both bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be instrumental to our long-term success across the EMEA, APAC and US regions. As we look to expand our presence within the sports, media and enterprise markets, we will be focusing on growing our team further to ensure that we continue to shape the future of video management and make significant inroads in these new markets.”

The next phase of Imagen’s growth strategy will see recruitment across all departments, with plans to double the number of employees by the end of 2019.
