Clear-Com has appointed Kris Koch as its new director of sales for North and South America, expanding his leadership responsibilities to include regional strategy, partner engagement and customer support across both continents. Koch will work closely with Clear-Com’s partner network and end users to drive continued adoption of the company’s intercom and connectivity solutions.

Koch brings more than two decades of experience across broadcast, media production and live events. His background includes producing live news for CNN, MSNBC, FOX and ESPN, managing broadcast services for the San Francisco Giants for six seasons, and working with multiple Clear-Com partners. Since joining Clear-Com in 2018, he has served as regional sales manager for the Southwest and later as business development director for broadcast, network and media production. The company says his direct field experience has helped expand Clear-Com’s presence in major broadcast networks, system integrators and large-scale production environments.

“We are thrilled to have Kris step into this leadership role,” said Chris Willis, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Clear-Com. “He brings not only deep technical and market expertise, but also a genuine commitment to supporting our customers and Partners. He has a long track record of strengthening relationships and delivering solutions that help productions run more efficiently and creatively.”

In his new position, Koch will oversee the Americas sales organization and guide strategic initiatives supporting Clear-Com’s transition toward IP-based, hybrid and cloud-enabled communications workflows. “I’m honored to take on this role at such an exciting time for Clear-Com,” Koch said. “Our customers are navigating rapid changes across broadcast, live events, corporate AV, manufacturing, aerospace and beyond. I’m looking forward to working with our exceptional team and Partners to help them meet these challenges with the reliable, innovative solutions Clear-Com is known for.”

Koch is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and will continue collaborating with the company’s global sales, product management and technical teams.
