Kevin Burrows
Kevin was previously the CTO for Broadcast and Distribution at Channel 4, responsible for the provision and technical strategy for Channel 4 broadcast transmission services, media delivery, platform distribution, post production, and content management. This includes IT based digital media workflows and asset management of material for all linear and non-linear platforms.
