Atomos shake-up with new CEO
Posted on May 11, 2025 by Adam Duckworth
Atomos has announced an executive leadership transition as the Company continues to evolve and expand its strategic focus.
Peter Barber, currently serving as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Board Director, is appointed as Chief Executive Officer. He takes over from Jeromy Young, who will step down as CEO but will remain as a Non-Executive Director of Atomos, continuing to support the Company’s strategic direction.
Peter joined Atomos in February 2024 as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Board Director. With over 30 years of experience in the video production industry, including co-founding Blackmagic Design and leading significant M&A activities, Peter has been pivotal in driving operational excellence and strategic initiatives at Atomos. Peter has played a critical role in the Company’s recent strategic initiatives. His deep understanding of the business and technology sectors and his proven leadership capabilities ideally position him to drive the next phase of growth and operational excellence.
Jeromy Young, co-founder of Atomos, has been instrumental in the Company’s development since its inception in 2010. He was CEO for over a decade, leading Atomos through significant growth and innovation phases.
Barber talks of the future
Barber said: “I would like to thank Jeromy and the Board for their support and confidence in me. I am honored to be appointed CEO at this important time in Atomos’ journey. I do not underestimate the challenges that lie ahead, including shifting market dynamics and external factors such as fluctuating tariffs in the USA. However, the work we have done over the past year to rebuild and restructure the Company has laid a strong foundation for the future. We are creating a more agile, resilient organization — one that is better positioned to navigate change and seize new opportunities.
I believe Atomos has an extraordinary opportunity to expand into new markets, drive broader innovation, and build upon its proud history of pioneering technology in the video production and content creation space. I am excited to lead the Company into this next chapter, working alongside our talented team to deliver greater value for our shareholders, customers, and partners. Together, we will build a stronger, more dynamic Atomos that proudly represents Australian innovation on the global stage.”
