Bjørndal
Former Conax executive Geir Bjørndal has joined Verimatrix with a brief to cover the security of DVB hybrid networks including IP and OTT delivery systems.
Bjørndal spent 20 years with the Norwegian conditional access specialist before his sudden departure 12 months ago.
“Geir brings the unique combination of deep industry knowledge and vision of where the digital TV and revenue security markets are headed to help us take advantage of this position,” commented Tom Munro, CEO of Verimatrix. “We feel that he will be a highly effective advocate for our multi-network, multi-screen value proposition and will further strengthen our partner ecosystem in the DVB and hybrid video services market.”
“In my view, Verimatrix is extraordinarily well positioned to become the leading security provider in the entire video distribution business, primarily through the match of its innovative and flexible approach with the needs of the evolving multi-network landscape,” added Bjørndal.
Bjørndal will make his first appearance in Verimatrix colours at ANGA Cable 2012 in Cologne next month.
