Visionary has reinforced its commitment to scalable, real-world IPTV and digital signage deployments with the appointment of industry veteran Ryan Nowak as Vice President of IPTV & Signage Solutions.
Based in Santa Barbara, California, Visionary is widely recognised for its AV-over-IP innovation. In his new role, Nowak will oversee system architecture, deployment strategy and technical alignment for Visionary’s IPTV platform, working closely with customers, partners and internal teams to support global growth across enterprise, education, healthcare, sports and broadcast markets.
Nowak brings more than two decades of hands-on experience in IPTV systems engineering, large-scale deployments and product strategy. Most recently at VITEC, he served as Strategic Growth Unit Product Director for Engage and Connect solutions, following senior roles that included Head of Product Management for Platforms and Director of Deployments. Across these positions, he led complex IPTV and signage rollouts in diverse and demanding network environments.
Earlier in his career, Nowak spent over ten years with the Green Bay Packers as a technology systems engineer, supporting live-event operations and maintaining technology systems across Lambeau Field and other managed facilities. This combination of stadium-scale operational experience and platform leadership underpins his reputation for designing IPTV solutions that perform reliably under real-world pressure.
“Ryan’s background uniquely bridges real-world deployment experience and long-term platform strategy,” said Scott Freshman, chief operating officer for Visionary. “His understanding of how IPTV and signage systems perform in complex, large-scale environments will be invaluable as we continue to expand our solution offerings and support our global customer base.”
“Visionary has built a strong reputation for practical, high-performance IPTV solutions,” Nowak said. “I look forward to working with the team to ensure our systems continue to meet the operational and technical demands of today’s customers while supporting future growth.”
Visionary’s IPTV and digital signage solutions are built around PackeTV, its browser-based management software that serves as the control layer for system configuration, monitoring and content delivery. Designed for enterprise-scale IP networks, PackeTV enables administrators to manage live broadcast television, streamed sources, recorded media and on-demand content through a single web interface, without the need for proprietary client software.
With Nowak’s appointment, Visionary signals a clear focus on deployment-driven product strategy as IPTV and signage continue to converge across global AV ecosystems.
