Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Sumner is an experienced broadcast engineering leader with 11 years in outside broadcast and VT operations, currently heading VT at Timeline Television. He has a strong track record designing and deploying UHD/HDR and IP-capable OB truck configurations, having led major rebuilds and multiviewer, router and EVS integrations at Cloudbass. Comfortable both hands-on in the gallery and managing teams, he trains new starters, coordinates tapeless workflows and liaises with clients to plan complex live sports and events. His background spans high-pressure live productions for broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Eurosport, and he brings a practical blend of technical systems thinking and operational management. Less obvious: he couples this engineering depth with earlier student-television leadership experience, so he excels at mentoring and building durable team processes.
