BURBANK, Calif. — May 10, 2019 — Reflecting Riedel Communications' rapidly growing presence in the U.S. and Canada, the company has appointed industry veteran Rich Zabel as Vice President of Sales for North America. Reporting directly to Joyce Bente, President and CEO of Riedel Communications North America, Zabel will take the helm of the entire sales organization and also focus on expanding Riedel's presence in key vertical markets.
