Manios Digital, the exclusive US distributor of Cartoni Camera Supports, is pleased to announce that longtime broadcast, sports, and educational industries sales veteran Gus Harilaou has joined its sales team as the East Coast Regional Sales Manager.
“At Manios Digital, we’ve worked hard to establish a reputation for offering the premium products of a big company with the service and care of a small, family-owned business. I’ve known Gus since the early ‘90s. I’ve always been impressed with his ethics and his approach to customers. We are thrilled to have Gus join our team,” explains Steven Manios Jr, the President, and CEO of Manios Digital.
Harilaou joins Manios Digital after spending over three decades with Miller Tripods. In his former position, Harilaou established himself as an expert in camera supports. Over the course of his career, he worked his way up from positions in the warehouse, service, and local sales before leading Miller’s sales efforts for North and South America.
“I’m very excited to join a growing team and embark on this new chapter with Manios Digital and Cartoni Camera Supports,” says Harilaou.
Harilaou’s role will be based out of the New Jersey area and capitalize on his established strengths of broadcasting, sports, and OB support.
With headquarters in North Hollywood, Manios Digital offers customers internal service and support on Cartoni’s best-in-class five-year warranty to ensure that tripods and pedestals are always up and running. Since the pandemic, Manios Digital has expanded its sales force with dedicated professionals representing the midwest and the East Coast to complement its national sales reps.
