Pucello, who joined Rycote in January 2010, is leaving at the end of June. During his time at Rycote, first as sales & marketing manager and then as S&M Director since 2011, the company has diversified successfully from its original broadcast supply base into the pro audio and DSLR accessories markets, which has involved a great deal of travel to set up and service new sales outlets internationally. Pucello initially plans a well-earned rest before deciding on his next career move.
"It's always important to leave a company on a high note, having achieved what you came on board to accomplish, and Rycote has expanded enormously into new markets during the time I've been here," he comments. "I have made a lot of friends at Rycote here in the UK and with their representatives overseas, and I wish everyone the best for the future. After a short break, I will begin looking for a new professional challenge. The Rycote sales team will meanwhile be headed up by the very capable managing director and co-owner Simon Davies."
"Stefano has been a key member of the Rycote team for over three and a half years, working hard to maintain and develop our reputation internationally during a time of great change, and we will all miss him," adds Simon Davies. "He's helped us launch the Universal Camera Kit and the USM internationally to the DSLR and pro audio markets, together with their many spinoffs. We are grateful to him, and hope he enjoys his well-deserved time off."
