Xyte has named Randy Klein to be President of the Board. Formerly the President and CEO of Crestron Electronics, Klein retired from the company back in 2021 after serving there for 31 years—most of which was spent as the company’s CEO—and had previously served on Xyte’s Advisory Board.
Largely known for his dedication to innovation, Klein has made a name for himself throughout the industry through his willingness to pursue the cutting edge of technology development.
Under Klein’s leadership, Crestron became recognized as one of the fastest-growing AV-technology companies through several strategic partnerships, a dramatic expansion of the company’s global footprint, and by adopting a more customer-centric approach to its business.
At Xyte, Klein will bring his strategic vision and market expertise to drive the company’s mission of establishing a unified industry standard for cloud-based collaboration. This includes the monitoring and management of AV devices, rooms and buildings, and advanced feature licensing.
“I was at the front of many industry transformations over my tenure. The cloud is the next big transformation,” declared Klein.
“The industry needs to adopt a cloud standard which will open up endless opportunities to once again transform our value delivery to our customers. Xyte has built exactly that, and will play a critical part in making our industry the most viable and powerful ever. Xyte is realizing a vision I have had for a long time. Some companies change processes, very few companies transform industries.”
Operating in the ProAV and smart building spaces, Xyte offers Xyte Device Cloud as its primary solution, which allows users to manage and monitor their fleet of AV, UC, IT devices – or any other kind of hardware – from a single, unified platform.
Xyte’s CEO and Founder, Omer Brookstein, expressed his excitement about Klein’s appointment.
“We’re excited to welcome Randy to Xyte’s Board of Directors during this pivotal phase of growth,” noted Brookstein.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Randy for over 25 years, and when I first showed him what we built at Xyte, his genuine excitement further proved to me that we’re indeed onto something big. Randy brings a wealth of industry knowledge and visionary leadership that will be invaluable as we continue to scale and enhance Xyte’s capabilities.”
