Inlet Technologies recently announced that former Cox Communications senior vice president of engineering and CTO Chris Bowick has joined its board of directors.

Bowick, who retired from Cox in June, also joined LiquidxStream Systems’ board in October.

“I am very pleased to join Inlet’s board of directors,” Bowick said. “In many ways, Inlet is truly redefining the video experience. For example, through leadership in adaptive bit rate technologies, Inlet is enabling the convergence of professional-quality video to broadband, mobile and set-top box environments. I am excited to be part of the team making this happen.”

In January, Inlet said it had a record year in 2009, with 140 percent growth over 2008, 150 new customers, and high demand for its streaming and digital media offerings.

Inlet is a privately owned company backed by private, strategic and venture investors. To date, the company has raised more than $20 million.
