International. Atomos announced a transition in its executive leadership as the company continues to evolve and expand its strategic focus.
Peter Barber, who served as Chief Operating Officer and Director of the Executive Board, was appointed Chief Executive Officer. He will replace Jeromy Young, who will step down as Chief Executive Officer but remain as a Non-Executive Director of Atomos, continuing his support of the company's strategic direction.
Peter joined Atomos in February 2024 as Chief Operating Officer and Director of the Executive Board. With more than 30 years of experience in the video production industry, including co-founding Blackmagic Design and leading major mergers and acquisitions, Peter has been instrumental in driving operational excellence and strategic initiatives at Atomos.
Peter has played a pivotal role in the company's recent strategic initiatives. His deep knowledge of the business and technology sectors, and his proven leadership skills position him ideally to drive the next phase of growth and operational excellence.
Jeromy Young, co-founder of Atomos, has been instrumental in the company's development since its inception in 2010. He was CEO for more than a decade, guiding Atomos through significant phases of growth and innovation.
Peter Barber said: "I want to thank Jeromy and the Board of Directors for their support and trust. I am honored to be named CEO at this important moment in Atomos' history. I do not underestimate the challenges that lie ahead, including changing market dynamics and external factors such as tariff fluctuation in the U.S. However, the work we have done over the last year to rebuild and restructure the company has laid a solid foundation for the future. We are creating a more agile and resilient organization, better positioned to face change and take advantage of new opportunities."
