Chyron Announces New Top Executive

Chyron has announced the appointment of Susan Brazer as Chief Commercial Officer.
Effective immediately, Ms Brazer will have global responsibility for Chyron's commercial strategy and all product services revenues, directing its worldwide sales network of direct sales, resellers/systems integrators and joint ventures in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
Chyron CEO Michael Wellesley-Wesley said: "Susan Brazer is an outstanding business executive in converging media and emerging technologies, with a breadth of experience in broadcast, mobile, internet/web 2.0 and consumer electronics. Susan is an ideal commercial leader for Chyron as her experience in scaling disruptive new media distribution platforms is the perfect match for Chyron's live broadcast graphics workflow and content creation in the cloud solutions."
Ms Brazer said: "Chyron is a well recognised leader for its best-of-class live broadcast graphics and with its new content creation in the cloud service, it can set the next generation paradigm for content collaboration, immediacy and cost-efficiencies for large segments of media ecosystem."
Most recently, Ms. Brazer has been Managing Director of LionShare Strategies, a business development and product innovation group that creates profitable new products/services, lines-of-business, markets, strategic alliances and investments.
Prior to this Ms Brazer was Vice President Corporate Development and Product Strategy at Virgin Mobile USA, where she led next generation decisions on its migration to 3G EVDO services.
She also held the positions of Executive Vice President for Kirch Media's Prisma iVentures for the FIFA World Cup and Senior Vice President for Viacom's Showtime service in the Middle East, featuring MTV, VH1, The Movie Channel, Paramount, Nickelodeon, TV Land, Bloomberg and Discovery channels.
Ms Brazer introduced digital satellite and cable TV services in Europe for SES ASTRA and led the launch of the first compressed digital TV systems for DirecTV at Compression Labs.
Ms Brazer's genesis in innovation comes from Apple Computer, where she launched the first portable computer and helped concept Apple's first PDA = the Newton and Knowledge Navigator. She started her career in M&A at PepsiCo with the acquisition of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Ms Brazer holds a B.A. in Economics from Brandeis University, an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and attended London School of Economics. She mentors at Princeton University's Keller School of Engineering and serves as an Advisor to the Princeton Pipeline and the New Jersey Technology Council's Communications & Media Board.
