In a significant development, Jeromy Young, the Co-founder of Atomos, has made a triumphant return to the company, assuming the roles of Managing Director and CEO. Having previously served as the CEO of Atomos for over a decade, Young stepped down from executive duties in November 2021 to explore other business ventures and personal interests within the video technology industry.
Young expressed his enthusiasm about rejoining Atomos, stating, “I feel privileged and very excited to be back at the head of the company I helped to build. I have a very clear vision of how to return Atomos to a powerful and growing tech company, and I’m already working with the team to realize this.”
Despite the challenges faced by many companies in the broadcast and professional video industry over the past year, Young sees potential opportunities for Atomos. He highlighted the company’s strategic decision to embrace Camera to Cloud and cloud-based live production workflows nearly two years ago, with recent successful implementations at notable events such as the LA Clippers, Sundance Film Festival, and George Mason University.
Young emphasized the importance of connectivity and openness for future growth, envisioning a new era of networked, collaborative video production and distribution where the cloud plays a crucial role. He stated, “Atomos’ innovation has led to a family of products that have become essential tools for video production. My intention is to extend a proven and popular technology platform to address a broader spectrum of filmmaking applications.”
With a focus on innovation and addressing the evolving needs of filmmakers and content creators, Atomos is confident in its ability to navigate the dynamic industry landscape and continue providing simplified, creative, and profitable solutions. Jeromy Young’s return marks a strategic move for Atomos as it looks forward to ushering in a new phase of growth and technological advancement.
