Verso Live has appointed Ben Gunkel as its Business Development Manager.
The appointment of Gunkel marks a significant period of growth for Verso Live, in which the company has seen its broadcast graphics solution used annually on almost 400 sports broadcasts.
Gunkel brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to Verso Live and is responsible for expanding the company’s sports customer base and developing its presence in entertainment programming.
