I'm thrilled to lead the company as it helps broadcasters and media companies to evolve their services, especially in the adoption of IP infrastructure.

Axon's CTO Peter Schut says, We are really excited to have both Michiel and Karel on board at this pivotal stage in Axon's development. Their experience, particularly of live sports production, will help us to strengthen our focus on providing solutions upon which our customers can rely as audience expectations become more demanding.
