Broadcast systems integrator TV Magic has appointed Stephen Milley vice president of sales. In his new position, Milley will oversee the company’s San Diego, Los Angeles and New York sales and marketing departments. Milley’s appointment enables TV Magic’s Pat Thompson to take on the new role of senior vice president of engineering operations.
Milley has been involved in the broadcast, production, and A/V markets for about 20 years, working as a professional in the field and serving in sales and marketing roles for manufacturers of broadcast equipment. His experience includes numerous production roles that led to his appointment as a production manager for Visual Sound.
Milley entered broadcast sales and marketing with a post at Audio Video Supply and later joined Panasonic Broadcast & Television Systems as district sales manager for southern California, Nevada and Hawaii. He also was a district sales manager at JVC Professional Products Co., where he was instrumental in the launch of the company’s ProHD product line.
Thompson has been with TV Magic since 2003, in various capacities. Most recently, he served as senior vice president of sales. In his new position as senior vice president of engineering operations, Thompson will focus on the engineering department’s organizational structure, reporting and process, development of metrics, resource management, organizing and implementing the project management office.
“We’re pleased to welcome Steve to TV Magic and anticipate that his extensive experience in the industry—from hands-on production to representation of advanced broadcast systems in a variety of markets—will enrich our ability to provide clients with smart solutions that address their current and future media needs,” said Stephen D. Rosen, president of TV Magic. “With Pat serving in his new role in charge of engineering, we are better prepared than ever to deliver quality broadcast and A/V solutions in a timely manner.”
