GatesAir has appointed Barbara Spicek as its new chief executive officer, as Bruce Swail retires from the company.

Spicek joins GatesAir following three years at Vizrt, where she was led NewTek's live production business.

Her role will include defining company direction, where she sees the opportunity to not only grow GatesAir's international footprint, but also expand products and solutions offerings into new areas.

GatesAir's longevity speaks for itself, and we will continue to innovate for the global over-the-air broadcast market, said Spicek.

Business opportunities for TV, FM and digital radio systems continue to grow worldwide, and GatesAir's Intraplex networking business has flourished as broadcasters accelerate their IP transitions. I see clear opportunities for GatesAir to bring new cloud and software-based solutions to market, both within its product portfolio and in collaboration with Thomson Broadcast and an extended ecosystem.

Aby Alexander, President USA, Thomson Broadcast, said: Barbara brings an amazing skillset to GatesAir that assures continued business growth through her proven track record as a proactive, innovative and strategic business leader. Her ability to define a company's business direction and corporate culture align well with our vision to move the GatesAir brand into exciting new places.
