His CV boasts roles with some of the leading manufacturers and service providers in the industry.

Bowley's early career was in telecoms and audio, initially with BT and then with SynthAxe and Reflex, where he was involved in some early innovative TV systems. He subsequently spent more than a decade in European sales roles with broadcast manufacturers Quantel and Snell & Wilcox. Spells with workflow automation specialists Marquis Broadcast and Omnibus followed, prior to heading up UK sales teams at manufacturers Miranda and Grass Valley.

Most recently Roger Bowley spent more than four years at AWS, placing him at the heart of innovative cloud-based content solutions, including cloud content distribution, OTT, live streaming and VOD delivery, aligned with wider AWS services such as storage, AI and ML (artificial intelligence and machine learning) and data analytics.

Technical knowledge key to integrating diverse service offeringsWelcoming Bowley to the company, Ben Murphy, Group CEO of ES Broadcast, said: Roger's range of experience in the broadcast and creative technology spheres is almost unparalleled. He has a depth of knowledge not only of traditional broadcast but of the full gamut of technology, from legacy formats to cutting-edge cloud solutions. This will be invaluable in developing complex client-focussed solutions that require the integration of services from across ES Broadcast's various business divisions.

Bowley himself commented: I am delighted to be joining ES Broadcast at such an exciting time in the company's development and look forward to partnering with our clients to supply the content solutions they need. Being able to correctly match client's requirements for video content against their budgets and rising viewer expectations is more critical than ever and ES Broadcast has the knowledge, relationships and experience to successfully deliver those solutions.
