Xytech Appoints Keith Buckley as CEO
Keith Buckley to spearhead resource efficiency in the media and broadcast markets
for Xytech
Xytech, the leader in resource management software for the media and broadcast industries, has
announced the appointment of Keith Buckley as the company's President and CEO succeeding Richard
Gallagher, the company's founder. Gallagher will now advise the company's board as envisioned when
Xytech was acquired by Banneker Partners in December 2021. With Buckley at the helm, this move
positions Xytech to significantly enhance its commitment to product innovation and operational
excellence in its mission to drive visibility, efficiency and automation in the media and broadcast
markets.
Since the acquisition, Banneker immediately began implementing enhancements of Xytech's operational
capabilities to speed the delivery of functionality essential to Xytech's customers and allow the
company to scale to meet continuing high demand for its MediaPulse platform. The addition of Buckley
to lead these efforts confirms Banneker's commitment to Xytech, its employees and its worldwide
customer base.
Buckley has been a leader of high-growth companies for private equity sponsors and international
corporations across many tech industries, with a focus on media and network software and services.
Most recently, Buckley served as the CEO of Federos, an AI-optimized analytics and automation
software solutions provider for complex networks that was recently sold to Oracle. He previously
served as President and CEO of The Switch Enterprises, a leader in content production and delivery
services for streaming and broadcast networks around the world. Before this, he was President and
CEO of ASC Signal Corporation, Trusonic and InSight Telecommunications Corporation, among other
media industry-leading companies.
"I'm joining Xytech as the company is poised for significant growth, and look forward to leveraging
Xytech's highly skilled team, strong base of product offerings, long history of core successes and
its world-class customer base," Buckley said. "The investments we're planning and will execute upon
in the immediate future will substantially increase Xytech's value across the media and broadcast
industries, creating an exciting environment for our team, our owners and - especially - our
customers."
"We are excited to work with Keith as we accelerate Xytech's mission of improving resource
efficiency in the media and broadcast markets," said Kenneth Frank, partner at Banneker Partners.
"His background in the industry and track record in growing successful software companies positions
him well to relentlessly focus on customer value and partner with the existing management team. We
also look forward to working alongside Richard as we assess other strategic options to accelerate
growth at the company."
