AV Stumpfl has announced that experienced pro AV professional Rainer Brandstätter has rejoined the company in the newly created role of product partnership manager.
Brandstätter originally joined AV Stumpfl in 2015 as a support technician. He was later promoted to project manager and trainer, where he was responsible, together with Florian Eder, for training on AV Stumpfl’s PIXERA media server platform on a global basis.
After transitioning to an IT consultant role during the Covid-19 crisis, he returned to AV Stumpfl in September of last year. In his new position, which he describes as a hybrid role that sits between the sales and technical teams, he is responsible for PIXERA’s technology partners and third-party integrations. This takes on particular importance because of the open-API nature of PIXERA 2.0, which launched to a European audience at ISE 2024.
Brandstätter describes returning to AV Stumpfl as like coming home after a period out of pro AV. “What’s really special about AV is that once you work with customers for a long time they become your friends, so it feels completely different to other industries,” he said. “Challenges are always solved in a collegial and proactive manner.”
