Commenting on his appointment to the board, Dale said “I was first introduced to the trakax team in Korea some years ago and was hugely impressed with their user design creativity and with their development competence and capability in the whole field of multimedia creation software. We intend to enjoy every minute”.ĭale Sohn was president and CEO of Samsung Telecommunications America from 2006 to 2013 and during his tenure he built the Samsung Mobile smartphone brand to the number one position in the USA ahead of the Apple iPhone brand. We have grown trakax from the basement of my parent’s house, so to be here in New York today, ringing the Nasdaq Opening bell, is just an amazing feeling. Speaking just before the ceremony, Catriona Barry, the company’s CEO, said “I am a combination of excited, terrified and delighted. trakax also lets businesses create Podcasts, allowing you to upload conferences, speeches and training videos and share them with colleagues and clients worldwide. These videos can then be quickly and easily uploaded to YouTube, Facebook, or the TV screen on your premises. trakax can also be used in the workplace, allowing small businesses to create interactive videos and slideshows to highlight their product offerings. The company’s Android product, “trakax” and the Windows PC product “trakaxPC”, are designed to enable users with little or no video editing experience turn their captured videos into compelling, interesting and fun movies. Dale will provide his expertise in areas of licensing, partnership development and with marketing and sales strategies. trakax recently announced that Dale Sohn, former President and CEO of Samsung Telecommunications America, has joined their Executive leadership team and has been elected to the Board of the Company. When the CEO of Samsung Mobile takes an interest, this surely means there is something special with this product. Flying under the radar until now, this low-key Irish company is destined for world-wide success. Like most start-ups, trakax started off in the basement of their parent’s home, and this honour is sure to propel them onto the international technology stage and award them the recognition that they deserve. The trio behind the video editing platform, trakax, won this honour as part of the Start-Up Village Pitch Competition sponsored by Nasdaq and Enterprise Ireland Pitching at SXSW in Austin. Irish siblings, Catriona, Cormac and Colm Barry will ring the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell in New York’s Time Square on Tuesday March 24.
