Pebble Beach Systems names new leadership team
Leadership changes made to better support customers through their period of transition from traditional to IP-based broadcasting
Pebble Beach Systems has appointed four new senior executives, namely Miroslav Jeras as CTO, Tamas Vass as CMO, Jim Reid as COO, and Justyna Munnich as group financial controller.
Jeras was previously the company’s head of software architecture. In his new role as CTO, he will be responsible for the technology that underpins the solutions Pebble’s customers need as they transition from traditional broadcast infrastructures to more flexible IP-based technologies.
An active participant in technology working groups focused on the development of new standards, including the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), Jeras has most recently been involved in the development of the IS-07 standard.
Vass, formerly Pebble’s vice-president of global sales, is now the company’s CMO with overall responsibility for strategic marketing and global sales.
With more than two decades of experience in the broadcast industry — having held key account, partner management and strategic marketing positions at resellers and vendors including Vitec Videocom, Amberfin, Harris and Leitch — Vass brings customer and market perspectives to the company’s strategic planning process as the industry transforms.
With over 30 years’ experience in business management and administration, Reid has taken over the role of COO. He joined the Pebble family last year, and was in charge of overseeing the creation of both the customer fulfilment and solutions architecture teams, with the overall goal of enhancing customer’s journey from initial engagement through to ongoing support.
Peter Mayhead, CEO at Pebble Beach Systems, said: “These appointments demonstrate the depth of talent within the Pebble Beach Systems organisation, with Miroslav, Tamas and Jim having been part of the management team which was responsible for the improvements made throughout 2018, resulting in significant improvements in the company’s profitability.
“Thanks to this team, the talent of our employees worldwide and our new corporate structure, we are ideally placed to continue to serve our extensive customer base while working on solutions that will see our customers through this period of transition, and help them embrace the latest technologies and workflow opportunities ahead.”
