Videré also announced that they have hired Kent Ramsay, a twenty-five year video conferencing and networking industry veteran, as General Manager of the Great Lakes office. Established in 2002, Videré has quickly become New England’s leading conferencing solutions provider to the healthcare, education, legal, financial and professional services industries.

Videré has established partnerships with the conferencing industry’s leading suppliers in order to provide their customers with the best solutions for their applications. Videré is able to offer best-in-class technology tailored to meet any environment. No other conferencing supplier has both the breadth of product offerings and Videré’s experience to implement them. “The key to Videré’s early success has been our hands-on, customer focused service model and to do that properly we need to be close to our customers,” said Videré co-founder and chief executive Todd Luttinger. “With a well-respected industry veteran like Kent Ramsay guiding our efforts in the Great Lakes region, we are excited and optimistic about our ability to attract new customers and grow our existing business.” Ramsay has held sales and sales management positions with AT&T, Ernst & Young, Sprint International, VTEL, and Polycom. His diverse background includes telecommunication and conferencing sales, sales management, and network consulting.

Then, as Vice President for the Great Lakes Region, he lead the team of sales professionals and engineers that helped VTEL consistently succeed in government, education and enterprise video conferencing applications. “Videré is filling a very unique and vital need in the conferencing industry. It is a value added reseller that is completely committed to customer satisfaction. This simple differentiator is the most important factor in building conferencing networks that can be "mainstreamed" in the day-to-day operation of the business,” said Kent Ramsay, Videré’s general manager of the Great Lakes office. “I know each of the principal partners personally, so I know the team is highly experienced, professional, committed, and fun to work with.
