Network performance and video quality management vendor Cheetah Technologies announced that Jeremy Bennington was recently promoted to general manager and vice president of its V-Factor business unit.
Cheetah has also named David Baranski as its new senior vice president of sales for the entire line of Cheetah products.
In addition to Bennington and Baranski, Cheetah also announced the promotions of Steven Santamaria to chief operating officer, Stefan Winkler to chief scientist and Praveen Mohandas to chief technologist.
“Digital video service quality is one of the key drivers of customer satisfaction in today’s competitive environment,” said Santamaria. “By combining the thought leadership of Jeremy and our senior management team with David Baranski’s extensive digital video experience, we are exponentially increasing our ability company-wide to create total solutions that optimize the quality of the products that are delivered by our customers.”
