Test and measurement broadcast technology company PHABRIX is sharing the news that its founder and CEO is retiring, concluding 18 years of leadership.
Who will succeed Phillip Adams in the role?
SVP of Sales & Operations Martin Mulligan, who has been with PHABRIX for nearly 8 years, will become Chief Executive Officer.
Mulligan has served as Global Sales Director of production technology firm Quantel, which purchased Snell Ltd. in 2014 (later re-branded as Snell Advanced Media and then purchased by Grass Valley).
Meanwhile, PHABRIX is welcoming a new Chairman, as Hiroshi Kajita is appointed to the role. Kajita most recently served as Head of Media Solutions at Sony Europe.
Reflecting on his own departure and the new appointments, Adams commented, “Retirement from a company you founded and have spent many years growing is always going to be a slightly bittersweet experience, but I feel that now is the right time as the company is in such a strong position around the world. With versatile solutions able to cater to the full range of legacy and next-generation workflows, our test & measurement solutions are now an integral part of the infrastructure for so many broadcasters – which has always been my driving ambition for the company. It is therefore an opportune moment to pass on my role as CEO to Martin Mulligan, who has brought outstanding energy and direction to every facet of the business during the last 8 years, while Hiroshi Kajita brings a phenomenal level of experience in media technology to his role as Chairman. With a superb workforce in every area of the business, I really couldn’t be leaving the company in better hands.”
