As expected, Harris has appointed Charlie Vogt as CEO, effective immediately. Vogt joins Harris Broadcast following nine years as president and CEO of GENBAND where that company made six acquisitions, including Tekelec SSG, NextPoint Networks, and Nortel?s VoIP business. As a result of those purchases, GENBAND became number one in VoIP and delivered a compound annual growth rate of ~100 percent during his tenure. Vogt succeeds Harris Morris.
Vogel said, ?The radio and TV broadcasting industry is embarking on a significant transformation from digital to IP. Charlie was a natural choice as his IP domain knowledge and experience gained while assisting global service providers and cable operators transition to IP has uniquely prepared him to lead the company as this industry undergoes a similar trajectory. We thank Harris Morris for his contributions in guiding Harris Broadcast as we acquired the business and transitioned the company to independence. We wish him well as he pursues new opportunities.?
