Ross Video Hires Nigel Spratling

Spratling has held senior positions at Snell & Wilcox, NVISION, ADC Telecommunications, and Sigma Electronics. He was responsible for creating the NAB-HD pavilion, has served as chair of the NAB Exhibitor’s board, and has acted as a marketing and technology consultant for the organization. He has served on SMPTE technical committees and has authored two books about broadcast engineering in the digital age. Spratling up until recently was president and CEO at Echolab, Inc., a Massachusetts-based provider of live video production equipment that was put into liquidation by its primary investor on May 19th, 2010 despite being in recovery after several years of losses.

“We are excited to have Nigel join our team here at Ross,” said David Ross, CEO, Ross Video. “A well respected industry veteran, Nigel possesses a depth of industry experience, enthusiasm and creativity that we know will benefit our flagship Vision and CrossOver production switchers and significantly contribute to Ross continuing to deliver compelling product experiences to our customers.”
