Appointment of Chief Technology Officer
Executive Director Malcolm Burrell named as Chief Technology
Officer Amidst New Opportunities in Global Sat Comms Sector
Singapore/London, 1(st) June, 2018 - Global Invacom (SGX: QS9)
(AIM: GINV), the global provider of satellite communications
equipment listed on the Singapore Exchange and the U.K. AIM Market,
has appointed Malcolm Burrell as its Chief Technology Officer
("CTO") with immediate effect.
Mr Burrell, who is an Executive Director of the Group and Chief
Risk Officer, already acts as the Technical Director responsible
for Advanced Research and Development of Global Invacom and has a
depth of knowledge covering the satellite industry. His additional
role, managing the co-ordination of the Group's R&D teams,
along with continued dialogue between the Board of Directors and
sales teams, will ensure product development is being tailored to
meet requirements and match demand in key markets.
Mr Burrell has over 36 years' experience in radio-frequency
design, technical management and corporate management across the
consumer electronics, satellite earth station and military
communications sectors. A graduate in Electronic Engineering from
the University of Southampton, U.K., he is a member of the
Institution of Engineering and Technology.
The appointment comes amidst major industry-wide changes which
provide new opportunities for Global Invacom, a leading global
designer, manufacturer and innovator of satellite ground equipment
for broadband and Direct-to-Home ("DTH") viewing via satellite and
Very-Small-Aperture Terminal ("VSAT") equipment.
Global Invacom, which holds 71 patents and has 49 pending
applications, intends to leverage on Mr Burrell's industry
experience to expedite product development amidst increased global
adoption of VSAT applications even as the industry undergoes a
once-in-a-decade transition to Digital Channel Stacking Switch
("DCSS") technology.
Tony Taylor, Executive Chairman of Global Invacom,
commented:
"We are delighted to appoint Malcolm as CTO of Global Invacom.
He has been an Executive Director of the Group since 2010 and his
first-class understanding of the technologies behind Sat Comms
equipment has been instrumental in our ongoing R&D and will
ensure that we continue to launch market-leading products to meet
the demands and requirements of our customers.
Global Invacom has been improving internal efficiencies and its
product pipeline amidst major changes in the operating environment.
Even in remote areas, consumers want fast internet access and
high-resolution content. To seize these opportunities decisively,
we want to tap into the R&D and product leadership of a CTO
with the calibre of Malcolm."
