USSI Global Names New CTO, COO and CRO in Leadership Reshuffle
2026-10-21 · via invidis
USSI Global, a Melbourne, Florida-based provider of engineering, installation, maintenance and managed services for digital signage and broadcast technology, has made three executive leadership changes in October. The moves matter to operators who rely on USSI Global for installation and managed services, since the company says the reshuffle is meant to support a shift from one-off installation projects toward longer-term technical services and support relationships.
Ted Korte, who joined the company in 2021 and most recently served as Vice President of Engineering and Technology, has been promoted to Chief Technology Officer. In the role, he will oversee engineering teams, evaluate emerging technologies and develop solutions across USSI Global's three business units, including digital signage, retail technology and electronics repair. According to the company, its engineering teams are looking into audience analytics, IoT sensors and point-of-sale system integrations. Korte previously helped build the company's Media Transport Solutions Lab, which lets broadcasters test satellite, terrestrial IP and cloud distribution technologies before rollout. Before USSI Global, he held engineering leadership roles at Harris Corporation, Qligent and L3Harris.
Amanda Flynn, an 18-year veteran of the company, moves from Chief Revenue Officer, a role she has held since March 2024, into the newly created Chief Operating Officer position. USSI Global says she will focus on expanding service offerings, improving operational processes and aligning capabilities with customer needs. Flynn joined the company in 2008 and has worked across business development, customer relations, sales and revenue operations.
Ed McGivern joins as Chief Revenue Officer effective October 8, taking over the role Flynn vacated. He brings more than 25 years of experience from Harris Broadcast/Imagine Communications, Grass Valley/Snell Advanced Media and Tektronix. Most recently he built out Appear's North American operation starting in 2022, which the company says grew to more than $45 million in annual revenue. At USSI Global, McGivern will lead go-to-market strategy and customer acquisition, with a stated focus on managed services and on government, sports and live events markets in addition to the company's existing broadcast and digital signage business.
All three executives report to President and CEO Anthony Morelli.
The announcement ties the changes to the ongoing C-band spectrum transition, in which satellite communications frequencies are being reallocated to make room for expanded 5G wireless services, a process that affects broadcast and signage clients relying on satellite distribution. The release does not specify a timeline for how quickly the new leadership team expects to expand into the government, sports and live events markets it has flagged, or what specific managed service offerings are planned.
