Prior to joining Sequin, Rumler most recently served as VP of sales for Brainstorm, a realtime graphics solutions company that collaborated with broadcasters and studios in the US and Canadian markets.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has, without question, increased the need for virtual production, virtual sets, and augmented reality across multi-media platforms,” notes Robert DeFranco, Sequin AR’s co-founder and chief executive. “We are confident that Brad’s expertise will be vital in helping our clients navigate these new technological waters, and getting these clients back into new waves of production more quickly than they may have believed possible.”
