Pace plc (PIC.L), the leading independent developer of digital TV technologies for the global payTV industry, has appointed Scott Sheldon as Chief Strategy Officer. Scott will join the Pace Executive team to drive development of the Group’s future strategy in the global market for digital TV technology.
Scott joins Pace from N M Rothschild & Sons where he was a Director and Global Head of Technology Investment Banking covering hardware, software, services and semi-conductor clients on a global basis. Before joining Rothschild Scott was founder and CEO of eMed, a leading US provider of network-based electronic medical image management software and internet services.
Neil Gaydon, Pace Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I’m delighted Scott is joining the Pace team as we work to explore new opportunities for our technology and expertise. Scott has worked with Pace over a number of years — he advised on our Pace France acquisition last year where he brought into play his excellent sector and M&A knowledge, which when combined with his US commercial background and European and Asian experience, makes him ideally placed to explore Pace’s future strategic options.”
Scott Sheldon added: “Pace has experienced significant growth over the last three years and is very well placed to take advantage of changes occurring in its large, global and growing markets. I look forward to joining the Pace team and leading the group’s strategic development effort.”
