Avi Cohen, CEO of RRsat, Named 2014 Teleport Executive of the Year
by the World Teleport Association
AIRPORT CITY BUSINESS PARK, ISRAEL--(Marketwired - Feb 5, 2014)
- RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST), a
leading provider of comprehensive digital content management and
global content distribution services to the broadcasting industry,
today announced that the World Teleport Association named Avi
Cohen, CEO of RRsat, as its 2014 Teleport Executive of the Year.
Mr. Cohen will be honored during WTA's Teleport Awards for
Excellence luncheon on March 11 during SATELLITE 2014. The Teleport
Executive of the Year award is presented to an individual for
demonstrated entrepreneurship, leadership and innovation in the
development or operation of a teleport-based business.
Mr. Cohen was named the CEO of RRsat in July 2012. His challenge
was to take RRsat -- already a global player -- to the next level
of business success and value creation. Over the last 18 months,
Mr. Cohen has led RRsat in its "Glocal" strategy -- become a global
leader with local footprints in key markets around the world. Part
of this strategy included two acquisitions: SM2 Sports & Media
Solutions and JCA TV. RRsat also consolidated two sites at its
Israeli headquarters into a new state-of-the-art Broadcast Center
in Emek Haela. Financially, Mr. Cohen as led RRsat to all-time
record results, including expectation of full-year 2013 growth in
revenues in the range of 6% to 10% year-over-year growth from
2012.
"Only a handful of teleport operating companies have grown to
significant size," said WTA executive director Robert Bell. "It is
a highly competitive, capital-intensive business that is also built
on personal relationships and service excellence. That is a high
bar for any company to pass, and we salute Mr. Cohen for continuing
the work of his predecessor, another Teleport Executive of the
Year, and taking RRsat to the next level."
"On behalf of the entire RRsat team, I am extremely proud to
accept this prestigious reward," commented Avi Cohen, CEO of RRsat.
"Over the past two years, RRsat has worked tirelessly to transform
the organization to meet the needs of today's broadcasters,
creating a global company with more robust offerings and talented
personnel in key broadcasting markets. I believe this award speaks
to the progress we have made. Our industry is changing quickly, as
consumers are now watching content in new ways, on new devices, in
an increasingly mobile society. RRsat is proud to play a part in
this evolution, and we look forward to what the future will bring
for our industry."
