Rohit Nagarajan, who has held pivotal roles at companies like SAP, SoftwareONE, and Salesforce, has been named CEO of Vizrt.
Nagarajan joins Vizrt with over two decades of experience in the technology industry and deep expertise across sales, marketing, and product innovation. Nagarajan's focus will be on scaling Vizrt's international growth, and enhancing its offering for customers, partners and users.
Nagarajan says Vizrt has been at the heart of media innovation, building strong relationships with incredible clients worldwide for more than 25 years and that just this past Tuesday, Vizrt technology was central to how hundreds of media companies covered the U.S. election, showcasing the power of Vizrt's expertise and customer creativity.
With the media industry entering the era of cloud and AI-assisted production, I truly feel there's never been a more exciting time to be part of this journey. The potential for us to grow and make an even bigger impact is immense, he adds.
Michael Hall n, who sat as Vizrt's CEO for the past eight years, has set a strong foundation for this next chapter and has together with the Board agreed that the time was right for new leadership. Hall n oversaw the joining of NewTek and Flowics into the Vizrt ecosystem to expand its legacy in broadcast graphics to live production and into the cloud, alongside the development of NDI.
Adds Klaus Holse, Chairman of the Board at Vizrt: Rohit is highly respected for his leadership, customer dedication, and deep expertise across sales, marketing, product innovation, and talent management-qualities that align perfectly with Vizrt's culture and vision. His proven track record in driving growth and building global software organizations will be invaluable in guiding Vizrt's next phase of success.
Hall n says leading Vizrt alongside such talented colleagues has been an honor.
I'm proud of our achievements over the past eight years and look forward to seeing the company's continued success under Rohit's leadership, he adds.
