He played a pivotal role in taking audio management software company, Omny Studio, from a start-up to a global leader in the space in his six and a half years with the company.

SCA Innovation Director – Audio on Demand, Matt Saraceni, said: We’re delighted to welcome someone of Mitch’s calibre into the SCA Digital Product team. In the audioon-demand world Mitch has famously connected publishers and producers to the best tech, so we’re thrilled that he’s picked our strategy as a winner. I’m keen to learn from his experience talking to radio stations around the world as we continue to take LiSTNR and our start-up investments to the next level.”

Commenting on his new role, Secrett said: “Having worked with numerous other radio networks around the world, I can confidently say that SCA is a global leader in the audio space, particularly when it comes to innovation. I’m thrilled to be joining the team as such an exciting time in SCA’s transformation.” Secrett’s appointment is effective immediately.
