The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced that Naomi Climer will become IET President on October 1, 2015. Naomi, currently IET Deputy President, has spent her career immersed in the rapidly changing world of media and entertainment technology from the analogue, pre-internet days of TV and radio through to the multi-channel, multi-platform, mobile experience of today.
She is currently President of Sony Media Cloud Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America, leading a team focussed on harnessing the power and opportunity of the cloud for professional video content production. Naomi has been actively involved in the IET for many years. Most recently, while based in the USA, Naomi has been championing the international breadth of the IET and the strength that this global diversity brings to the IET’s engineering community.
Naomi has a strong interest in diversity issues and has been an active campaigner for the need to encourage women within the engineering profession in the UK.
