Wheatstone Corporation has announced the appointment of Kelly Parker as Director of Product Development.
The move marks a return to Wheatstone for Parker after five years as Vice President of Broadcast Operations for Townsquare Media where he oversaw the company’s technical operations. He previously spent fifteen years at Wheatstone from 2004-19 as a systems engineer when he had a lead role in the development of Wheatstone’s WheatNet IP audio network and later led the development of its flagship LXE console.
In his new role, Parker will direct product development for the company’s AoIP, streaming, virtualization, mic and on-air processing and software server lines. Parker commented, “I’ve been on the other side of the industry running 300 plus radio stations for the past few years. Things are definitely changing and Wheatstone is uniquely positioned to adapt technology to those changes.”
Wheatstone CEO Gary Snow said, “Kelly has that rare perspective that comes with first-hand experience both as a developer and user of our technology, which will be important as we enter what is expected to be a transformational period for broadcasting.”
Parker will be based at Wheatstone’s New Bern NC headquarters and can be reached at kellyparker@wheatstone.com or (252)638-7000.
