LONDON – Synamedia, the world's largest independent video software provider, today announced the appointment of Jean-Francois Pigeon as General Manager and Senior Vice President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Synamedia.

With experience in developing and growing technology businesses in North America, Asia-Pacific and EMEA, Jean-Francois joins Synamedia's executive team to drive growth and expand customer relationships across EMEA, with overall responsibility for sales and delivery.
