“The media tech market is undergoing significant transformation, from sports rights and streaming to mergers and acquisitions. Our customers are facing disruptions that demand more than a vendor – they need a dedicated partner,” Thomas said. “My global experience across Vizrt, paired with the capabilities of our customer success team, ensures we can best support our customers as they redefine workflows, standardise operations, and look to innovate while driving efficiencies.”
The appointment of Thomas comes after a period of transformation for Vizrt, including the unification of the organization’s product portfolio, bringing together its NewTek and Vizrt brands, and the growth of its customer success department.

By strengthening our leadership team within the America’s market and working together on improving our customer’s experience we solidify our commitment to their continued success,” states Michael Hallén, Chief Executive Officer, Vizrt. www.vizrt.com
