Thierry Ollivier has joined 3D technology provider Volfoni as vice president of sales with a remit to develop the company’s Pro business, which includes all non-cinema professional markets.
Ollivier - a veteran of the projection industry who has held senior positions at projectiondesign and then Barco - joins Volfoni as the company steps up efforts to strengthen its leadership team to capitalise on the growing demand for active and passive 3D systems in the professional market.
The Volfoni Group has R&D, logistics and technical support infrastructure near Nice, France, and has offices in Valencia (Spain), Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing.
In a joint statement, Bertrand Caillaud, CTO & COO and Alain Chamaillard CSO of Volfoni, said: “Over the years, through the expertise of our R&D team, Volfoni has become one of the world leaders in the field of 3D and virtual reality. With the arrival of an audiovisual and VR expert like Thierry Ollivier, Volfoni Pro will take a new dimension and through the new projects to come, can once again demonstrate its ability to innovate.”
Ollivier said: "Volfoni has been a brand appreciated by professionals since 2010. Virtual reality and augmented reality are finally entering the world of business, education, museums and entertainment. It is a growth opportunity for all 3D professionals.”
"Pair Volfoni's active 3D systems with one or more projectors, a flat or curved monitor, or an LED wall, and you get an unmatched collaborative and immersive visualization tool for your teams. I am delighted to join the Volfoni team and bring my experience and my network together to develop new projects and create the new generation of Volfoni visualization tools for professionals."
