IABM, the international association that brings together manufacturers in the broadcast industry with more than 550 members around the world, has just named a new Board of Directors.

The Board will hold office during the next two years and plays a central role in all the association's activities: setting the overall strategy, establishing, reviewing and changing, as necessary, the association's policies, which are then implemented by the IABM team. It also exercises global financial control.

The composition of the new Board of Directors reflects the international composition its members: Jörg Pohlman (ARRI), Anne-Louise Buick (Avid); Nicolas Bourdon (EVS), Tim Shoulders (Grass Valley), David Phillips (Multicast Consultancy), Geir Bryn-Jensen (Nevion), Bea Alonso (They spread it), Alison Pavitt (Pebble Beach), Peter Sykes (Sony) y Juergen Sommer (Vitec).

The newly elected members join the five permanent members (elected by the outgoing board for continuity), who are: Andreas Hilmer (Theirs), president; James Gilbert (Pixel Power), immediate past president; Nicki FisherClear-Com), Glodina Connan-Lostanlen (Imagine Communications) y Anna Lockwood (Telstra).

In addition, the presidents of the Regional Member Councils of APAC, EMEA and in the Americas, Dennis Breckenridge of Elevate Broadcast, Ole Clausen of Danmon Group and Paul Stechly of Applied Electronics respectively, also have reserved seats on the Board. Vice Chairman Graham Pitman, IABM CEO Peter White and Chief Financial Officer Lucinda Meek complete the line-up.

El recién elegido Presidente de la Junta Directiva, Andreas Hilmer de Lawo, ha afirmado que “nuestra industria está enfrentando desafíos de varios lados y se le anima a pensar fuera de la caja casi a diario. Nunca antes, en mis 16 años de trabajo para los fabricantes de televisión, había visto un estallido de actividad y creatividad a pesar de los cambios perturbadores a los que se enfrentan los fabricantes, los proveedores de servicios y los organismos de radiodifusión. Ayudar a dirigir nuestra industria en estos tiempos turbulentos será la misión de esta nueva junta directiva y del maravilloso equipo interno de la IABM. Seguiremos manteniendo el equilibrio adecuado entre los intereses de los vendedores, que fundaron esta organización, y la industria de la radiodifusión y los medios de comunicación en general. El éxito sostenible se basa en asociaciones de confianza; y la IABM desempeña un papel crucial en este proceso para garantizar que todas las partes interesadas se beneficien de las grandes oportunidades que tenemos ante nosotros”.
