Bryan Bray joins Chyron

Chyron has appointed Bryan Bray as general manager of venues. With extensive experience as a live sports and entertainment production specialist, Bray will partner with Chyron product managers and oversee the company’s growing sales and support team.

“I can’t wait to introduce our team to the venue market, as these industry professionals all have a background in running venues and working within live sports,” commented Bray. “It’s a competitive market, and that benefits everyone – the industry, our clients and us. Our goal is to be the company that steps up with the know-how and dedication to deliver what our clients need to put together a great show for the fans sitting in a stadium.”

Over his 34 years of experience in the live sports and entertainment industry, Bray has held leadership roles within industry organisations including SVG, IDEA and CSVA that are among the founders of the Collegiate Sports Video Association.

Bray and his venues team will bring a full portfolio of graphics solutions that enable operators to engage fans with graphics and data. Products within that portfolio include the PRIME CG, the PRIME Click Effects system for stadium and in-venue production, Virtual Placement for real-time data visualisation and PAINT for illustrated replay.

Mike Truex, CEO at Chyron, commented: “Like our customers in the venues space, Bryan has been in the control room, managing the many elements that go into live in-venue production. He knows those challenges, and he can listen and respond with the benefit of his own experience in the chair. We’re pleased to welcome him to the company as part of a growing team committed to the venues space.”
