Public Media Infrastructure has appointed Dave Williams as its first chief technology officer, Radio World and Radio Ink reported November 10, citing the organization’s announcement.
Williams will help develop shared infrastructure for public radio stations, including systems intended to replace satellite distribution. His previous work includes roles at McKinsey & Company, RSM and New Light Tech.
PMI is led by CEO Jeannie Ericson and was formed by American Public Media Group, PRX, New York Public Radio, the National Federation of Community Broadcasters and the Station Resource Group.
The appointment identifies who will lead the technical work; it does not establish that a replacement distribution network is already operating.
