Pro-Bel Appoints Adrian Scott To Board And Top Marketing Role

Pro-Bel, a premier manufacturer of routing switchers, signal processing, master control, automation and control and monitoring technologies, has announced the appointment of Adrian Scott as Director and Chief Marketing Officer.
In this newly created role Scott will oversee Pro-Bel's marketing and communications functions worldwide.
Scott has had a long career in broadcasting and broadcast technology, and has held the positions of VP of Marketing (EMEA) for Avid's newsroom subsidiary iNews, and Director of Marketing for Autocue. For the last four years he has been running his own company, the Bakewell House Consultancy.
"Pro-Bel has been one of my major clients over the past 18 months or so," said Scott, "and my experiences with the company have left me with the highest regard for its achievements in the past and potential for the future. This assignment takes our relationship to an entirely new level: I am delighted to be joining Pro-Bel's Board, and excited about being given the opportunity of participating in the next phase of the company's ambitious corporate strategy."
Pro-Bel recently announced its intention to stage an IPO (Initial Public Offering) later in 2006.
This follows a successful management buyout from the Chyron Corporation in 2003, and the equally successful acquisition of infrastructure company Vistek in 2005.
Graham Pitman, Pro-Bel's CEO, added: "Since our MBO we have re-invented Pro-Bel and are focused on supplying products and services that are relevant to our dynamic market. Adrian has a great record as an evangelist for new technologies and new methods in our industry; I regard Adrian as one of the few people capable of conveying to the market the degree of change that Pro-Bel has embraced; his appointment is an important step in our development."
