He has served as IDC’s director of finance and treasury since 2012.

IDC’s outgoing CFO, Rick Clements, will continue at the company until Jan. 31, 2014 in order to support a smooth transition of responsibilities.

Steeve Huin, IDC’s new vice president of products, joins IDC from Irdeto. Huin has extensive experience in software engineering, architecture, product management, and product marketing. Most recently, he was Irdeto’s senior product director, where he held responsibility for Conditional Access, overseeing a global product line serving industry leading pay-TV operators and broadcasters

Walter Capitani, previously IDC’s VP of product management, has been named vice president of marketing.

IDC also announced the reorganization of its global sales force on a regional basis to place more emphasis on fast-growing emerging markets, which offer strong opportunities to the company. New regional directors by territory are: Peter Neuman for the Americas, Berry Eskes for EMEA North, Berend Blokzijl for EMEA South and Doug Pierce for Asia-Pacific sales. Virginia Lee Williams, previous VP of global sales, has decided to pursue opportunities outside of IDC.
