ERA appoints Phillip Boettcher as pre-sales manager

ERA has appointed Phillip Boettcher as pre-sales manager.

He joins ERA with almost 15 years’ experience in the media and entertainment sector, specialising in post-production and broadcast workflows, media storage and infrastructure.

He worked at Jigsaw24 for 14 years, where he held a senior pre-sales role supporting production and post-production clients across the UK.

During his time at Jigsaw24, he led a team of pre-sales consultants across pro video, pro audio, post-production workflow and infrastructure, while also acting as a primary technical contact for sales teams on complex media systems.

In his role at ERA, Boettcher will work closely with customers and internal teams to design and deliver solutions across remote workstations, storage, burst render and archiving. He will focus on proof-of-concept offerings, solution design and portfolio development.

He said: “I’m really excited to be joining ERA at a time when the media and entertainment industry is undergoing such rapid change. I’ve spent much of my career helping customers evolve their workflows and infrastructure, and ERA’s approach to flexible, on-demand services aligns perfectly with where the industry is heading. I’m looking forward to supporting customers as they adapt to new ways of working and increasing demands on compute, storage and rendering.”

Sean Baker, managing director at ERA, added: “Phillip’s appointment is a significant addition to the ERA team. His depth of experience, particularly his long-standing role at Jigsaw24, brings invaluable insight into real-world media workflows and customer challenges. As more organisations look to private cloud and hybrid infrastructure to support remote working, scalability and performance, Phillip will play a key role in ensuring we continue to deliver well-designed, practical solutions that truly meet our customers’ needs.”
