Jonathan Jobin

I’m Jonathan Jobin, and I’m eager to bring my 19 years of experience at CBC/Radio-Canada and my upcoming role at Grass Valley to the SMPTE community. Throughout my career, I’ve been deeply involved in the technical and operational facets of media production, which has provided me with a solid foundation in the technologies and workflows that drive our industry.

I’m confident that my extensive background, combined with my active involvement in SMPTE, makes me the right person for this position. As a board member and Treasurer, I’ve successfully managed budgets, streamlined processes, and introduced new initiatives, such as an automated CheckIn system that improved our event management. These experiences have honed my ability to lead and innovate within our Society.

My contributions to SMPTE have always been driven by a desire to enhance our community’s effectiveness and impact. I’ve been committed to improving our sponsorship programs and ensuring that our brand image resonates with both current members and potential new ones. These efforts have not only strengthened our financial health but also expanded our reach.

Looking ahead, I aim to foster greater collaboration within SMPTE and explore new ways to integrate emerging technologies into our work. By working closely with the Board and our membership, I plan to drive initiatives that keep SMPTE at the forefront of industry advancements, ensuring we continue to provide valuable resources and support to our members. Together, we can build a future where SMPTE remains a vital force in the ever-evolving world of media technology.
