Experienced media technology leader takes on key leadership role
Thomsen’s career in media technology began with NTP Technology, where he developed his technical expertise in audio solutions and broadcast infrastructure. He then transitioned to Danmon Systems, a leading systems integrator, where he excelled in systems integration, project management, and business development. His success in driving business growth at Danmon positioned him to lead the establishment of Qvest’s operations in the Nordics, where he played a pivotal role in expanding the company’s presence and delivering innovative media technology solutions.
Reflecting on his journey, Thomsen commented: “Seeking the best solutions for broadcasters naturally brought me to nxtedition. Together, we developed a highly successful platform for KNR in Greenland and pioneered innovative solutions for TV2 Nord and TV2 East Jutland. These projects gave me a deep respect for nxtedition's talented team and their forward-thinking products. I also found a strong alignment with the company’s culture, so when the opportunity arose to join, it was an easy decision.”
Roger Persson, Sales and Marketing Director at nxtedition, highlighted the company's unique culture, saying: “At nxtedition, our motto is ‘customers for life, employees for life.' Our commitment is to create an environment where people thrive, both in terms of technology and workplace culture. We are excited to have Peter on board during this exciting growth phase. His deep industry knowledge and international sales expertise will be invaluable.”
Persson added: “Peter has already seamlessly integrated into our team. It's as though he’s been with us all along, and we are eager to embark on this next chapter together.”
Thomsen, who resides in the countryside near Copenhagen, enjoys outdoor activities, including cross-country skiing, in his free time.
