ViewCast strengthens management team

ViewCast, a leading global provider of high-quality audio and video communications products and professional IT services, has announced the appointment of Horace Irwin, a marketing and sales veteran, as the company's corporate vice president of marketing and business development.
Irwin comes to ViewCast with a wealth of relevant experience gained from his 30 years of strategic marketing, sales, and operations positions. He assumed responsibility for all marketing and business development activities on Tuesday June 1 2004.
Most recently Irwin was the vice president of marketing and sales for Dallas-based Qnet Information Services, one of the fastest-growing IT solutions companies in the Southwest region. During his tenure, the company tripled in revenue growth.
"The addition of Horace to our management team is a strategic step as we concentrate on moving our company to the next level," said George Platt, ViewCast president and CEO. "Horace brings a wealth of reputable experience and creative marketing vision to our senior management team. He will be key to our continued growth in the video communications industry, and we are confident that he will enhance and strengthen our market awareness."
Irwin's experience includes senior-level positions at AMX Corporation, Advantage Marketing Group, Club Corporation of America, and Adolph Coors Company.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to become a part of an already-strong management team. My marketing and management experiences should allow me to contribute to accomplishing ViewCast's goals," said Irwin. "ViewCast's video communication products are expanding into the market with the Osprey Video brand already well-known and respected among users. I look forward to building on this reputation."
The company also announced that Harry Bruner, sr. vice president of sales and marketing, has resigned to pursue other interests. With the departure of Bruner, Platt will manage the sales organisation as Irwin focuses on the marketing functions.
