He will drive the company's corporate and product positioning, branding and identity, public relations, demand generation campaigns, and global market penetration to ensure strong customer growth and revenue performance.

“For 2012 we plan to expand our global footprint by capitalizing on the momentum we have created in the live production and streaming markets,” said Jim Plant, NewTek president and CEO. “Carter’s background in the media and entertainment industry, along with his 20 years of experience leading companies through aggressive growth periods and brand evolution, make him the ideal leader to manage the execution of NewTek’s global growth strategy in the year ahead and well into the future.”
