Tapos, the cinema software solution for ticketing, point of sale (PoS), CRM, and analytics is excited to signal a greater expansion into various theatrical markets with the hiring of Sophie Doherty to a newly created role as Head of Business Development for the United Kingdom & Ireland, Europe and Australia.
Doherty joins with over 20 years of experience in theatrical distribution and exhibition in the UK and Ireland, most recently steering the sales strategy for Signature Entertainment’s highest-grossing box-office title ever, Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3. She has also worked as the historic Regent Street Cinema’s Content Manager and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as their lead Sales Manager for Lucasfilm and Disney Studio titles.
Doherty reports to TAPOS CEO Alan Roe and will join the team on the Trade Floor at CinemaCon Las Vegas.
A statement from Roe said: “Sophie brings a wealth of experience from her time working across both sides of the fence, having specialised in local territory film sales, but also real insights from many successful years in cinema exhibition. We are excited at the prospect of working with Sophie and expanding further in the territory where my great-grandfather first launched the company.”
Doherty will be leading the company’s expansion into the new territories to highlight and demonstrate how Tapos’ software could provide unique functionality to UK, Irish, European and Australian exhibitors to enhance the cinema guest experience and streamline processes for cinema operators.
A stalwart supporter of the big screen experience, Doherty added: “I am delighted to be back working directly with some of the most important decision makers in the theatrical film industry – cinema operators, owners and film programmers. My varied experience working in cinema exhibition enabled me to identify aspects of Tapos’ technology that helps exhibitors reach a wider audience, meaningfully improve profits, and generally make life easier.”
Tapos, a subsidiary of JACRO, is a family-run cinema software and supplies company which has been serving exhibitors for 100 years, and is based in the United Kingdom and United States.
