Deb ascends to the executive leadership role previously held by Kathy-Anne “KAM” McManus, former Chief Customer Experience Officer, who has left Avid to accept a new professional opportunity. KAM moves on with extreme gratitude from Avid for her numerous contributions in the drive toward a more modern service organization, digital transformation, and a more CX-centric company culture.

Deb Sanders commented, “Caring for Avid’s discerning customers everywhere in film, television, music and education is an awesome responsibility. What excites me more than anything else in stepping into this role is that I’m surrounded by the most extraordinary people who possess unprecedented, specialized knowledge about how media creation works now and how it will evolve.
