Brompton Technology is delighted to announce the appointment of Steve Leyland as its new Chairman of the Board.

Leyland's appointment follows the resignation of Brompton's previous Chairman, Neil Gaydon, for health reasons. Neil joined at the time of Brompton receiving investment from specialist private equity provider Connection Capital in 2022 and has played a central role in developing Brompton's growth strategy. We are very grateful to Neil for all his support and wish him the very best, says Richard Mead, Brompton's CEO.

A seasoned executive and respected voice in the AV industry, Leyland brings with him decades of international leadership experience, including senior roles at Barco, Polycom, and Intel, and a proven track record of driving growth and strategic transformation across global markets. Leyland currently runs a consulting practice advising technology companies and investors on growth, international expansion, and go-to-market strategies. He also acts as the Chairman of Cambrionix Group, a UK-based manufacturer serving the mobile device management market. During his corporate career, Leyland served as President of the Control Rooms & Simulation Division at Barco, where he successfully turned the global business from a loss-making unit to profitability, before becoming the company's Chief Commercial Officer. Earlier in his career, he was President of Polycom EMEA, where he tripled revenue and transformed the region into a highly profitable business. Leyland also held leadership roles at Intel Corporation and Dialogic Corporation, where he was General Manager of its largest division before its acquisition by Intel.

I am excited to take on the role of Chairman of the Board for Brompton Technology, and I hope that my audio-visual industry experience can help them to continue their significant growth, he says.

Leyland's career has taken him across the globe, with leadership experience in London, Los Angeles, New York, Brussels, and Paris, and management responsibilities in India, China, and Latin America. His extensive expertise in board governance, international business development, sales strategy, and operational turnaround will be instrumental in supporting Brompton's next phase of innovation and expansion.

We are thrilled to welcome Steve as Chairman, says Mead. His deep industry knowledge, commercial acumen, and international perspective make him an invaluable addition to the team. Beyond chairing our board, Steve is keen to be hands-on in supporting our commercial strategy and sales efforts, and we're looking forward to having him regularly involved at our London office and key industry events.
