The Board of Directors of Broadcast Pix™, at its regularly scheduled monthly meeting, unanimously elected Graham Sharp as director to sit on  the Board of the award-winning video technology company. This action follows Mr. Sharp’s engagement as CEO in August, 2019. 

With more than three decades of executive management experience in the media technology and business development industries, Sharp brings extensive knowledge of international business and cultures gained through living and working in Asia, Europe, Canada, and the US. Prior to joining Broadcast Pix, Sharp served as executive vice president and general manager of Avid’s video division, as well as chief marketing officer and senior vice president of corporate development at Grass Valley.

Mr. Sharp commented, “Broadcast Pix have some great technology, particularly the flexibility of the control interfaces and the automation of complex production tasks. We intend to empower the next generation of content producers (who are not necessarily broadcast trained) to deliver highly professional content using solutions that are easy to use and deploy at an affordable price point.”
