ActiveVideo Networks hires former Cisco exec

US-based video technology company ActiveVideo Networks has appointed former Cisco executive Murali Nemani as senior vice president and chief marketing officer.

Nemani will be responsible for building out ActiveVideo’s CloudTV platform,  which unifies all forms of content – from the web, TV, social, mobile and VoD – onto any video screen.

Nemani joins after five years at Cisco, where he led the service provider video and mobility solutions marketing groups, directing the launch of the company’s Videoscape solutions for service providers. Prior to this, he worked at Alcatel-Lucent and led its global IP video marketing program.

“Murali Nemani’s strong background in video and mobile will be invaluable in helping service providers and content aggregators understand how CloudTV’s ‘write-once, deploy-everywhere’ capability solves the business problem of device fragmentation,” said ActiveVideo Networks CEO and president Jeff Miller.
