SummitMedia Names VP of Engineering
SummitMedia has promoted Dennis Sloatman to the corporate-level position of Vice President of Engineering. Sporting these new stripes, Sloatman (left) will now manage the company’s engineering throughout the U.S. He will be based in Richmond, VA and continue to directly oversee engineering for that market. Sloatman comes fully equipped with 48 years of engineering experience and has served as a Chief Engineer in numerous locations including Orlando, Cedar Rapids, IA and Richmond. Prior to joining SummitMedia Richmond last December, Sloatman was VP of Engineering for iHeartMedia Los Angeles.
“We are very happy to have someone with Dennis’ experience and background working with all of our markets,” said SummitMedia CEO Carl Parmer. “His knowledge, leadership and strategic vision will be invaluable as we continue to expand the technical side of our operations.”
In 2012 Sloatman was named Cox Media Group Market Engineering Manager of the Year and he writes a regular Tech Tips engineering column for Radio Magazine.
