Joop Janssen Named CEO Of Aperi
Aperi Corporation has confirmed the appointment of Joop Janssen as CEO, effective immediately.
Janssen has more than 25 years of industry experience. He is currently managing director, and the senior principal of Yoap Holding and has served as CEO of EVS. Prior to this, he was chief executive of Vitec Videocom and served on the Group Executive Board of the Vitec Group Plc in the UK. Janssen has also served as president of Phillips Broadcast (formerly BTS) North America.
Commenting on the appointment, Eugene Keane, chairman and founder of Aperi said: "Now that the first products are installed at customers' premises and additional financial backing from strong strategic investors is secured, the company is ready to be taken to the next level. Joop is the right man to lead Aperi to make it happen.
"Since we founded Aperi we've focused on creating a software-defined platform for live media networking and processing. The solution has been battle tested with select customers and we're now ready to scale across the industry. Joop brings the ideal mix experience and skills to drive Aperi in this exciting phase."
Keane will remain in a key role in the company, providing business development and technology advising, and market and investor support.
"I'm looking forward to taking Aperi to the next growth phase," said Janssen. "Over the last six months I've had the privilege to work with Eugene and his team and lead customers on the roadmap to accelerate the use of Aperi's unique software platform in existing and new live production and network infrastructures. The Aperi virtualization platform provides the industry with the agility and cost structure it must embrace to survive and thrive. I'm excited for this unique opportunity to lead the charge through such massive changes."
Founded in 2013, Aperi provides live IP Media Function Virtulization (MFV) solutions for the broadcast industry. Its vision is to bring software defined, real-time media processing closely integrated with non-blocking native-IP switch fabric to live media content production.
