3VR, the video intelligence company, recently announced that Jeff Karnes has been named Senior Vice President of Marketing and will spearhead the company’s retail analytics initiative.
"Jeff joins 3VR at an important time," said Al Shipp, CEO of 3VR. "His impressive background in video technology and ability to work across a range of industries will be tremendously valuable as 3VR pursues new opportunities in the retail and security segments."
3VR is now leveraging the same video-mining technology that has delivered proven ROI for retail loss prevention to improve marketing, merchandising and store operations. Brick-and-mortar retailers can glean real-time, actionable insights from the Big Data from in-store video to create a personalized, omni-channel experience, increasing conversions and spend rate.
In addition to the retail initiative, Karnes will drive 3VR’s marketing efforts in the video surveillance industry. Most recently, he was CEO at Pixel Forensics, a company that provides solutions to rapidly triage and analyze video, images and audio for forensic and investigative applications for U.S. Government clients.
"3VR is at the forefront of delivering solutions that allow companies to search and gain insights from the growing amount of video," said Karnes. "Joining 3VR at this moment in the evolution of video and Big Data is an incredible opportunity and I’m thrilled to be part of the company."
With over 17 years of high-tech marketing and product management experience, Karnes previously held executive and senior leadership roles at VoloMedia, Yahoo!, WebEx, Virage, and Cinebase Software.
3VR debuted its in-store retail video analytics at the National Retail Federation 103rd Annual Convention & Expo from Jan. 13-14, 2014.
