Utah Scientific president retires

Tom Harmon has retired as president of Utah Scientific after 15 years at the helm of the company. The video router, master control switchers and related control software manufacturer’s COO and EVP of finance, Dave Burland, will assume the role of president while Mr Harmon will remain active with Utah Scientific as chairman of the board.

‘It’s been a fantastic ride, with the best team in the industry,’ said Mr Harmon. ‘And I can’t think of a better professional to take over the reins than Dave. After more than 20 years of working closely with Dave, he really understands what makes our company tick, and I’m completely confident he’ll be able to take Utah Scientific to new levels of success in the coming years. I look forward to working with Dave, the board, and the rest of our executive team to ensure a smooth transition.’

‘Tom needs no introduction in the broadcast technology community,’ added Mr Burland. ‘Over his 40-year career, he has not only earned the admiration and loyalty of his team members, but he’s respected by chief engineers and key industry influencers across the country. During his tenure here, Tom has shepherded Utah Scientific through plenty of changes in the broadcast landscape – from analogue to digital media and now the migration to all-IP workflows. We’re delighted that he’s agreed to stay on as chairman and continue to serve as a valuable consulting resource for our team.’
