Ed Hauber Is Latest Addition to Digital Nirvana Executive Team, Joining as Director of Business Development
FREMONT: Signaling Digital Nirvana's continued momentum in the fast-growing market for compliance monitoring and metadata generation services, the company today announced the appointment of Ed Hauber as director of business development. Reporting to Russell Wise, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Hauber will oversee all business and solution development for major broadcasters in the U.S.
Hauber is the latest in a series of recent executive appointments at Digital Nirvana. Earlier appointments include Wise in January, Anant Khanolkar as senior director of international sales in February, and Keith DesRosiers as director of sales solutions in April.
"I worked with Ed at Volicon for 10 years, so I've had firsthand experience with his keen ability to develop successful business and technical solutions for leading broadcasters, as well as his expertise in winning new customers and completing successful deployments," Wise said. "Ed was the most productive member of the Volicon senior sales team, and he has outstanding insight into broadcasters' requirements for compliance logging and associated technologies. He'll be a huge asset as we continue to expand Digital Nirvana's sales and solutions leadership team."
Before joining Digital Nirvana, Hauber served for three years as director of sales for Verizon Digital Media Services (VDMS), where he led the North American broadcast sales practice for the Volicon brand after it was acquired by VDMS. Prior to the acquisition, he was director of sales for Volicon for 10 years. Hauber has also held sales and marketing management positions with Pinnacle Systems and Truevision, and earlier in his career served as producer and editor for NBC TVSD in Miami. He holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and communications from Point Park University.
MUMBAI: In India’s fast-moving payments race, Visa has just swiped in a new leader. The company has named Suresh Sethi as its India country head, marking a key leadership shift as it sharpens its focus on digital payments growth in the market. Sethi steps into the role following his recent exit from Protean eGov Technologies, where he served as chief executive officer. He succeeds Sandeep Ghosh, who has moved on after more than four years at Visa to pursue an external opportunity.
The appointment comes at a time when Visa is doubling down on its expansion strategy across India and the wider region, deepening partnerships and accelerating adoption in an increasingly competitive digital payments ecosystem.
Sethi brings with him a broad, cross-market perspective shaped by decades of experience across corporate banking, retail financial services, mobile money and large-scale government technology initiatives. He began his career at Citigroup, where he spent 14 years working across India, Africa, South America and the United States, focusing on transaction banking services within the corporate bank.
His appointment signals a blend of institutional experience and market familiarity qualities that could prove critical as Visa navigates a landscape where fintech innovation, regulatory evolution and consumer adoption are all accelerating at once.
As digital payments in India continue to scale rapidly, the leadership change underscores a simple reality, in a market where every tap, scan and swipe counts, who leads the charge can matter just as much as the technology itself.
