Semnox Solutions, a provider of technology for the entertainment and amusement industry, has announced the appointment of Kevin Kochman as a sales partner. Kochman joins the Semnox team with extensive experience in worldwide hospitality, operations, and entertainment.
Phil Showler, head of FEC sales, says: “We are thrilled to welcome Kevin to the Semnox family of sales professionals. Kevin brings a high level of professionalism to the team that will help us as we continue to expand our footprint across North America.”
International experience
Kochman was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After high school, he joined the United States Air Force and travelled to places such as Texas and South Korea, which piqued his interest in working internationally.
When he returned to the United States, he began his hospitality career as director of international operations for Applebee’s Inc. Here, he played a key role in expanding franchise operations in Kuwait, Egypt, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Canada.
In 2008 Kochman moved into the attractions sector and joined Main Event Entertainment. He contributed to the company’s expansion from eight Texas-based facilities to 45 locations nationwide over his 14-year employment. This position enabled him to refine his skills in operating systems, concept development, and expansion strategies.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, he worked as a consultant for location-based entertainment centres across the US. During this time he became acquainted with Semnox’s technology and team, establishing a relationship which has now developed into his current position as a sales partner.
Semnox’s team has a diverse set of abilities, perspectives, and backgrounds, allowing them to constantly provide outstanding services to clients around the world.
Kochman says: “I am thrilled to be a part of a team that is innovative, growth-oriented, and client-focused.”
When he’s not working, Kochman likes to travel, socialise, and work in his yard.
Last month, Semnox announced that it had helped The People’s Choice Family Fun Center implement a comprehensive conversion from its legacy point-of-sale and technology systems.
