The US Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) and its international arm, the International Society of Broadband Experts (ISBE), has named Matt Aden as vice-president of sales and sales operations.

Aden will be tasked with heading up a team that will commercialise SCTE/ISBE resources, including learning and development, industry standards leadership, membership activities, and annual events such as SCTE/ISBE Cable-Tec Expo and SCTE/ISBE Chapter Leadership Conference (CLC).

Aden will also be responsible for driving development of resources and infrastructure to serve the SCTE/ISBE’s 28,000-plus members worldwide.

He previously worked in international sales positions with companies including General Instrument/Motorola, Casa Systems, Terayon Communications, Harmonic and Concurrent.

“The introduction of the CORTEX Expert Development System, the enhanced prominence of SCTE/ISBE Cable-Tec Expo, and the growth of international relationships are driving new industry interest in creating partnerships with SCTE/ISBE,” said Aden.

“I look forward to working across the organization and the industry to help the technology community get the most from SCTE/ISBE programmes.”
