Bill Powers
Vice President,
US Sales
Bill Powers is a 17-year veteran of the Grass Valley Group, having
first joined the company as an account manager in 1980, and then
returning to it in 2000 after several years in broadcast sales management
with Sony Electronics.
Powers is responsible for managing the Grass Valley Group's direct
sales in the United States and for developing and broadening the
company's relationships with key media and broadcast group accounts.
Powers pursued an engineering degree at Tennessee State Technical
Institute, but the creative production side of the business was where his
heart was. He began his career as a photographer in 1972 and eventually
worked into directing news and feature programs. His hands-on experience
with Grass Valley Group equipment was a major factor that ultimately led
him to pursue a career with the company.
Powers' experiences at the Grass Valley Group are highlighted by his
involvement with the inauguration of CNN, NBC NewsChannel, and the 1996
Summer Olympics.
