As part of the company’s platform strategy, Avid will further integrate its audio solutions — including Pro Tools, Sibelius and Avid Venue products — into the MediaCentral Platform, which is their open, integrated platform designed for media.

Claman comes from the artist side of the business, working as an editor, sound designer and mixer. Claman first joined Avid as a senior product manager for Pro Tools in 1998, designing many of the features that led to Pro Tools’ 2004 Academy Award. Over 14 years, he played a major role in shaping the company’s technology and product strategies as he rose through the ranks to become CTO. After working as CTO at Snell Advanced Media (SAM) and Quantel from 2013 through 2015, Claman rejoined Avid in February 2016 as VP, platform and solutions.

“I’m looking forward to working closely with our customer community to shape our collective future in the audio post production, music creation and live sound industries,” says Claman. “Through tight integration with MediaCentral, we’re dedicated to innovating our audio solutions to meet our customers’ emerging needs.”
