Michael Pfitzner, VP of Newsroom Solutions, CGI

Michael has gained a wide range of creative and commercial experience in the media industry over the past 25 years. He began his career as a 3D and VFX artist, a skillset that took him to Discreet (now Autodesk) as an Application Engineer. A move to Dalet as a Project Manager deepened his knowledge of NRCS systems, with the responsibility of planning, preparation and delivery of extensive newsroom installations at broadcast stations. Michael joined Annova Systems in 2008 in a similar role before progressing to Head of Projects, leading a team of 20+ project professionals across four sites. Following the merger between Annova Systems and SCYSIS Media & Broadcast in 2016, a further promotion saw him take on the role of Director of Projects, heading up the international project team of the newly formed SCYSIS Media Solutions. Michael’s current role as Vice President, Newsroom Solutions focuses on strategic planning for this rapidly evolving delivery sector.
