"The complement of Omneon offices now servicing Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan are being staffed with experienced Omneon support personnel, and under Eric's leadership, they will provide a firm foundation for continued growth throughout the region," said Omneon's worldwide sales vice president Dan Marshall.
