Joining Gilbert on the IABM board are: immediate past chair, Jan Eveleen, Axon Digital Design; Kevin Usher, Avid; Mark Gederman ChyronHego; Nicki Fisher, Clear-Com; Ben Davenport, Dalet; Marco Lopez, Grass Valley; Tom Favell, Hi-Tech Systems; Glenn Lebrun; Imagine Communications; Paul Nicholls, Phabrix; Roger Thornton, Quantel; Peter Sykes, Sony; David MacGregor, TSL; Mark Osborn, Vitec Videocom; and Jordi Capdevila Espitia, VSN.

Rounding out the board are its four non-elected members: Derek Owen, non-executive director; Graham Pitman, vice-chair; Lucinda Meek, finance director and Peter White, chief executive.

"We're delighted to welcome James Gilbert as IABM Chair of board," said White. "His experience in the industry will prove invaluable to us, and we look forward to growth and success in the next few years under his guidance.

"We're also delighted to welcome such a diverse and talented range of professionals to our board. The breadth of experience these individuals bring will strengthen IABM's ability to serve the needs of its members and others working in the industry and also to deliver on its broader purpose: to be the authoritative voice of the broadcast and media technology supply industry worldwide."

Commenting on his appointment, Gilbert added: "These are exciting and challenging times for our industry with the rise of multi-platform content delivery and IP based solutions. Looking forward, I believe IABM needs to play a leading role in this transition, by supporting both the long established and the newer companies.
