Keith Buckley replaces Richard Gallagher as head of Xytech

With an eye on the development of new products that allow for greater efficiency and automation in the media and broadcast markets, Xytech has appointed Keith Buckley as president and CEO, succeeding founder Richard Gallagher.

Gallagher will go on to advise the company's board of directors, as was anticipated when Xytech was acquired by Banneker Partners in December 2021. Since the acquisition, Banneker immediately began implementing enhancements to Xytech's operational capabilities to accelerate the delivery of essential functionality to Xytech customers and enable the company to scale to meet the continued high demand for its platform.

This is a comprehensive solution for the complete content lifecycle providing scheduling, automation, asset management, billing and cost recovery for broadcasters and media services companies. In April 2021, Xytech acquired enterprise resource management software brand ScheduALL.

Now, the addition of Buckley to lead these efforts confirms Banneker's commitment to Xytech, its employees and its global customer base.

Buckley has led companies in different technology industries, with a focus on media and software and network services. Most recently, he was CEO of Federos, a provider of AI-optimized automation and analytics software solutions for complex networks that was recently sold to Oracle. Previously, he was President and CEO of The Switch Enterprises, specializing in content production and delivery for streaming and broadcast networks around the world. Previously, he was president and CEO of ASC Signal Corporation, Trusonic and InSight Telecommunications Corporation, among other leading media companies.

Buckley highlights that "I am joining clients.”

Kenneth Frank, Partner at Banneker Partners, says he is excited "to work with Keith as we accelerate Xytech's mission to improve resource efficiency in the media and broadcast markets. His industry experience and track record of growing successful software companies position him well to relentlessly focus on customer value and partner with the current management team. We also look forward to working alongside Richard as we evaluate other strategic options to accelerate the company's growth."
