Atomos Limited ( ASX: AMS , ‘ Atomos ’ or the ‘ Company ’) today provides an update on changes to its senior leadership team. Estelle McGechie’s appointment as CEO of Atomos has concluded, primarily because she has not yet relocated to Australia. The Company has always indicated that it requires the CEO to be based in its Melbourne headquarters.

Trevor Elbourne, Atomos’ Chief Technology Officer (CTO), has been appointed interim CEO and is based in the Company’s headquarters in Melbourne. He will shortly launch the Company’s new products that he and his team have been developing since 2020.

Trevor is one of Atomos’ founding employees, having joined the Company in 2012 to lead product design. Since then, he has played a vital role in determining Atomos’ technology strategy and product roadmap. In 2017 Trevor was appointed CTO and oversaw the successful development of Atomos’ flagship Ninja V and Shinobi products.

As part of the senior leadership team for over four years, Trevor is uniquely qualified to take on the CEO role in the interim period. The Board will commence a global search process for a permanent appointment. A summary of the terms of Trevor’s employment contract are set out in the Schedule.

Atomos reconfirms its FY22 guidance for revenue of $95m+ as well as an EBITDA margin of 12-15%.

The Company will host a webinar this morning at 9.15am AEST with Chairman, Chris Tait, Interim CEO, Trevor Elbourne and CFO, James Cody. To register for the webinar, please use the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84578966127

Commenting on the change in CEO, Chris Tait, Non-Executive Chair said: “I would like to thank Estelle for her efforts at Atomos and on behalf of the Board wish her the best in her future endeavours. Trevor is a logical and highly capable appointment as interim CEO given his intimate knowledge of the products and technology that have made Atomos one of the global leaders in video technology today. As the Company embarks on an exciting expansion of our product line-up, the Board is confident Trevor will bring his deep experience in technology innovation to ensure our products continue to meet the changing needs of our growing customer base.”

Trevor Elbourne, interim CEO, said: “I’m excited to lead Atomos as we take the important next step along our technology roadmap by launching a suite of new products in late April that will improve video production workflows for our customers. It’s a great time to be a content creator and we look forward to continuing to empower our highly creative customers with a raft of new products that seamlessly
