Video streaming and advertising technology provider Velocix has promoted Anthony Berkeley to CEO.

Berkeley, an 11-year Velocix veteran, was most recently the Cambridge-based company’s chief operating officer. He has held a range of senior leadership roles in sales, product and professional services at Velocix, and previously held senior positions at Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia.

Velocix serves clients including Sky, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Liberty Global, and Telefónica.

David Sharpley, group leader at Lumine Group, Velocix’s parent company, said: “Anthony is ideally-suited to drive Velocix’s continued expansion, with his deep domain expertise in the video technology market and proven track record of driving profitable revenue growth. With an expanding base of top tier customers and strong market momentum, Velocix is well-positioned to build on its success in 2021 and beyond.”

Anthony Berkeley, CEO at Velocix, said: “I’m excited to lead the next phase of Velocix’s growth, which will be fuelled by our investment in new video streaming and advertising technologies that maximise performance and deliver the lowest cost of ownership to customers. Using our latest hybrid-cloud software, Velocix can deploy on-net, in the cloud, or both, opening new business opportunities for us, and giving our customers the power and flexibility to scale out their platforms more efficiently than ever before.”
