Charlie Vogt recala en ATX Networks como presidente y CEO

Con una experiencia de más de treinta años en el sector de media y TIC, Charlie Vogt se une a ATX tras haber estado al frente durante los últimos cuatro años de Imagine Communications.

ATX Networks, proveedor de sistemas de infraestructura de red y soluciones de vídeo comercial con sede en Toronto in Ajax, Ontario (Canadá), ha nombrado a Charlie Vogt as presidente y director ejecutivo.

Con una experiencia de más de treinta años en el sector de media y TIC, Vogt se une a ATX tras haber estado al frente durante los últimos cuatro años de Imagine Communications where he led the transformation of Harris Broadcast into Imagine and GatesAir, and the subsequent move from a traditional broadcast company to a new environment of IP, software and cloud technologies.

Vogt succeeds Ken Wildgoose, who commanded ATX for the last 18 years. Now, he will continue as an advisor to the board of directors.

Wildgoose commented that “it has been an honor to lead ATX Networks and be part of the company's incredible team of dedicated employees. “Charlie is a visionary and strategic thinker with decades of experience.”

“His passion and experience combined with the company's talented team and exciting new initiatives in the HFC access networks and commercial video markets positions ATX for an exciting and promising next chapter,” he added.

For his part, Camilo E. Horvilleur, member of the board of directors of ATX Networks and general director of H.I.G. Capital, noted that “Ken Wildgoose has led ATX through several technology and growth cycles, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. We thank Ken for his years of leadership and look forward to continuing to work with him as a member of the board of directors. With a distinguished history of successfully building, transforming and growing ICT and media businesses, Charlie was a logical choice to continue Ken's success.”

Voght subraya que “he pasado la mayor parte de mi carrera defendiendo un cambio disruptivo e innovador, introduciendo nuevos modelos de negocio y soluciones competitivas para los proveedores de servicios de comunicación y las empresas de media. Las industrias del cable, del satélite y de las telecomunicaciones están pasando por cambios transformativos a medida que el mundo adopta nuevas tecnologías avanzadas para ofrecer servicios más baratos, rápidos y mejores que antes. Estoy encantado de unirme a la compañía en un momento tan emocionante en nuestra industria y esperamos trabajar estrechamente con el equipo ATX y su impresionante cartera de clientes”.

Prior to Imagine, Vogt was CEO of Genband, a company specialized in the voice and video over IP business, carrying out six acquisitions. His resume also includes other leading companies such as Taqua and Santera Systems (Tekelec), Accelerated Networks (Calix Networks), Lucent (Alcatel), Ascend Communications (Lucent), ADTRAN, Motorola and IBM.
