"Concurrent's open, commercial and intelligent approach to multi-screen video solutions is an excellent fit for the Asia Pacific market, which is integral in our global growth strategy," said Concurrent president and CEO Dan Mondor. "Consumers worldwide are driving the need for ultimate flexibility in video delivery, and Concurrent's end-to-end multi-screen solutions make it possible. We are pleased to have Steve leading our efforts in the region."

According to SNL Kagan, Asia Pacific digital TV operators are facing invigorated competition and are turning to advanced-service rollouts to drive subscriber growth and ARPU gains. Leading operators in the region are incorporating digital video recorders, video-on-demand services and high-definition content to drive revenues and enhance competitive differentiation. Asia is also the largest consumer of mobile video, making it a natural fit for Concurrent's three screen strategy.

VonderHaar joins Concurrent with extensive experience in Asia Pacific leading global sales and business development organizations. He directed the sales effort at converged network provider 3Com to drive product into the telecommunications, MSO and managed services businesses, with significant account wins in Korea, Australia, and China. Prior to 3Com, VonderHaar spearheaded storage sales throughout the region at Adaptec, achieving annual growth rates of over 200%. Most recently, as vice president of sales at Newisys, VonderHaar orchestrated the organization's first China-based partner revenue stream.

Concurrent's solutions are deployed by major service providers in 265 markets worldwide, supporting over 33 million digital households, and collecting and correlating data from over 700 million transactions per month.
