LTN has announced the appointment of three experienced executives to lead its new technology organisation.
They are: Michal Miskin-Amir as Executive Vice President (EVP) and Head of Technology; Jonathan Stanton as Senior Vice President (SVP) and Head of Infrastructure; and Bobby Bond as SVP and Head of Development.
LTN said the internal appointments coincide with a new phase of growth for the media services and technology company as broadcasters and content providers migrate live video transport from satellite to its purpose-built, global IP network.
Malik Khan, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder at LTN, said: “We’re entering a pivotal moment and delivering mission-critical services for customers at a much larger scale and speed than ever before. Our full-time channel distribution revenue has grown 28% per year for the last several years and is poised for even faster growth as C-Band satellite spectrum auctions approach.”
Khan added that broadcasters “are moving more and higher value channels to our SLA-backed IP managed service that delivers unmatched reach and flexibility. These appointments will drive LTN’s technical roadmap forward as we further expand our reach to 100% of all content delivery platforms, offer more advanced monitoring tools, and highly automated and AI-based service capabilities that support our customers’ needs.”
