ALVISO, Calif., June 27 (UPI) -- Television recording company TiVo appointed Monday Tom Rogers as its chief executive effective July 1.
Rogers will be succeeding Michael Ramsay.
Rogers has been vice chairman of the company's board since September 2003. He is a former president of NCBC Cable and executive vice president of NBC. In addition, he was chairman of Primedia, a media group.
"Tom's vast experience in running media and internet companies, his proven track record in creating innovative business models and setting a strategic direction for companies facing the opportunities new technologies present, along with his leadership in securing the Comcast deal for TiVo a few months ago, made him the perfect person to lead TiVo forward," Geoffrey Yang, general partner at Redpoint Venture Partners and a founding TiVo director, said in a press release.
Rogers will be replacing Ramsay, who is a co-founder of TiVo and has been its chief executive over the past seven years.
