Singapore –– October 10, 2002 – muvee Technologies Pte Ltd, the Singapore-based company that has brought the next generation of video editing technology to market, announced today that they have signed a long term contract with industry veteran, Joe Monastiero, to help the company deliver this important new technology to the global PC and consumer electronics industries.
Mr. Monastiero will come on board with muvee Technologies as its Principal Sales Strategist with immediate effect and will spearhead the company’s tactical sales and marketing initiatives for its automatic video editing technology worldwide in areas including the United States, Europe and Japan.
Mr. Monastiero brings to muvee many years of experience in the sales and marketing of multimedia technology. He has been a leader at such companies as MetaCreations, Brooktree/Rockwell Semiconductor and CyberLink Corporation. Mr. Monastiero also co-founded InterVideo Inc., a world leader in DVD software solutions for PCs.
“I am as energized about this new company and its technology as I have been since I entered the industry 15 years ago” stated Mr. Monastiero. “muvee’s automated video editing technology is truly revolutionary as it enables anyone to quickly and effectively produce a meaningful and professional looking music video from raw footage literally in seconds. So many of us have home videos in storage that never get watched but I believe that muvee’s technology will shatter the current complexities of video editing that bewilder the average consumer. Best of all, it’s easy and fun to use.”
Pete Kellock, CEO of muvee Technologies, commented, “We are really excited to have Joe on board with us. We look forward to tapping his expertise and intimate understanding of the industry to help drive our business forward and increase our global reach.”
