Alticast has promoted John Carlucci to the new position of president of Alticast North America. He has been Alticast’s CTO for the last three years, and he will keep that title as well.

Carlucci joined the company from Time Warner Cable (TWC), where he had been vice president of engineering for Polycipher. With Polycipher he developed security standards and infrastructure for next-generation video networks as well as architected “everything-on-demand video systems” for cable.

He has more than two decades worth of experience in the cable industry and over 20 patents to his name. Carlucci’s work includes Emmy Award-winning designs for both Start Over/Network DVR and switched-digital video (SDV) applications.

 “John was the obvious choice when we decided to create the position of President,” says Alticast CEO Won Cheol Kang. “His experience, track record of success and outstanding technical expertise make him ideal to serve both as president and CTO and to drive Alticast to even greater achievements.”
