Real-time graphics and live production specialist Vizrt has appointed Rohit Nagarajan as its new CEO.
Nagarajan takes over from Michael Hallén, who has been Vizrt’s CEO for the past eight years.
Nagarajan has over two decades of experience in the technology industry at SAP, SoftwareONE, and Salesforce, and joins with expertise in sales, marketing and product innovation.
Vizrt said Nagarajan’s focus will be on scaling international growth and enhancing its offering for customers, partners and users.
In a statement, Vizrt said that Hallén “has set a strong foundation for this next chapter and has together with the Board agreed that the time was right for new leadership.”
Hallén oversaw the joining of NewTek and Flowics into the Vizrt ecosystem to expand its legacy in broadcast graphics to live production and into the cloud, alongside the development of NDI.
“For over 25 years, Vizrt has been at the heart of media innovation, building strong relationships with incredible clients worldwide. Just this past Tuesday, Vizrt technology was central to how hundreds of media companies covered the US election, showcasing the power of our expertise and our customers’ creativity. With the media industry entering the era of cloud and AI-assisted production, I truly feel there’s never been a more exciting time to be part of this journey. The potential for us to grow and make an even bigger impact is immense,” said Nagarajan.
“Rohit is highly respected for his leadership, customer dedication, and deep expertise across sales, marketing, product innovation, and talent management—qualities that align perfectly with Vizrt’s culture and vision. His proven track record in driving growth and building global software organizations will be invaluable in guiding Vizrt’s next phase of success,” said Klaus Holse, Chairman of the Board at Vizrt.
Holse continued: “On behalf of the Board, we thank Michael for his contributions; under his leadership, Vizrt has built an infrastructure ready for sales growth. We look forward to his continued impact as Chairman of NDI.”
“Leading Vizrt alongside such talented colleagues has been an honour. I’m proud of our achievements over the past eight years and look forward to seeing the company’s continued success under Rohit’s leadership,” said Hallén.
