“In my time here at Clear-Com, I have had the opportunity to work with great partners and amazing customers. Clear-Com has a rich history of success with our broadcast partners and I’m excited to carry on that tradition,” said Kris. “I believe my experience in sports and news broadcasting, as well as my time working with top system integrators, will be helpful as I continue to grow and learn. Our industry is always changing and adapting, it’s my job to stay ahead of those changes as best I can to support our partners.”
