Datapath has appointed Brian Tulley as strategic procurement manager, a role that will see him working with internal and external partners to secure the long-term availability of key, strategic electronic components required to support Datapath’s business objectives. Tulley has extensive experience in technology procurement, having held senior roles at blue chip organisations including General Electric and Rolls Royce.
Tony Jones, director and co-founder of Datapath, welcomed the addition of Brian to his team: “As part of our ongoing global growth, we’d like to welcome Brian to the Datapath family. Brian has an impressive track record in global procurement and, during a period of considerable pressure on supply lines, we are delighted to add his skillset to the team.”
Tulley’s role includes collaboration with Datapath’s tier one manufacturer partners – monitoring material demand fluctuation and supplier lead times to minimise impact on the manufacturing and customer service levels. His responsibilities will include strategic procurement for a variety of key electronic commodities including, but not limited to, FPGAs, memory chips and circuit boards.
“I am delighted to announce my new position with Datapath,” said Tulley. “Throughout the pro AV industry, they are known as the market leaders in video processing and content management. Procurement of technology components has become a very hot topic throughout the AV industry in the past 18 months or so – along with many other business sectors – and I am looking forward to applying my experience at Datapath to ensure our customers continue to experience the high levels of service and minimal lead times for which we are known.”
