Broadcast Solutions has promoted Humphrey Hoch to the new role of co-CTO, forming a unified technology leadership team with Rainer Kampe, Pierre Mestrez and Maarten Carpentier. This step looks forward to strengthening its senior management structure for its continued growth and innovation, as it has claimed in a statement.

The company set up its CTO Office at its Bingen headquarters in 2024. Pierre Mestrez leads on software and services and Maarten Carpentier with primary responsibility for solutions and architecture.

Hoch is now appointed co-CTO to try to bring these efforts together in service of the clients. He brings experience in the media industry, including roles with L-S-B Broadcast Technologies and Lawo. For the last eight years he has been senior director of innovation at Broadcast Solutions, as well as guiding the development and eventual spin-out of the hi human interface platform.

As part of the new structure, he also joins the senior leadership team, initially working alongside CTO and managing director Rainer Kampe. This is the first stage of a strategy which will see Hoch bringing a new designs and engineering, while Kampe moves, over the next year, into a more over-arching role focusing on strategy, market development and key partnerships.

“In a turbulent market, Broadcast Solutions is continuing to serve clients and grow our business through consistently delivering systems which provide excellence in quality, creativity and efficiency”, Kampe explains. “To do this, we need the knowledge, experience and agility to develop the best solutions for our clients, whatever their project needs”.

“At the same time, we need a leadership structure that can scale, while maintaining our core values of innovation, of service and of reliability”, he continues. “This planned expansion is a considered and deliberate step to ensure stability today and to be ready for whatever directions the market takes us in the near future”.

Humphrey Hoch adds: “This is a very exciting opportunity, to be able to work with the best multi-disciplinary team in the industry, on cutting edge media projects. Broadcast Solutions is proud to be a company that holds innovation as its goal, alongside service and reliability, and I look forward to maintaining that policy”.

“This is a planned and structured development of roles”, Hoch concludes. “It brings clarity, accountability and strong execution to the core of everything we do and positions us perfectly in future readiness grounded in the most practical and deliverable technology”.
