November 8, 2011 (Mission Hills, CA/London, UK) Xytech, the global leader in facility management software for the broadcast and media services industries, announced today that Daniel Lynch has joined the company as General Manager of Xytech’s London office.  Lynch will be responsible for managing Xytech’s UK based operations for the company’s growing customer base in Europe.

Mr. Lynch joins Xytech from the Associated Press (AP), where he served as Head of Technology and Strategy for nearly a decade.

He has overseen the installation of a number of complex scheduling and facility management systems.

Greg Dolan, Xytech Executive Vice President, noted, “I have worked with Daniel for many years, and he is one of the smartest and most solutions-oriented people I have ever known. His work at the AP, arguably one of the most demanding facilities on the planet, was seamless.  As our European business continues to grow, we know that he will bring extensive technical and operational skills to the task. Daniel has a unique understanding of the demands that our customers must respond to every single day, and we are delighted to have him join our team.”

Lynch concluded, “Having worked with a number of teams in the past decade, I know from personal experience that Xytech brings the best systems, support and expertise to the marketplace.  I sincerely look forward to working with the Xytech team in London, Los Angeles and all of our European customers.”
