Atomos hits refresh with new CEO and broadened product strategy
Atomos Limited has hit the refresh button by shaking up its leadership team with a new CEO and launching four new products including a recurring revenue cloud solutions platform, in a move to diversify its product base and respond to a slower global tech market due to US tariffs.
With a traditionally slow third quarter behind it, the Melbourne-based digital video technology disruptor is redefining the landscape to wrest control of its own destiny.
Newly appointed boss, Peter Barber will officially lead the charge once he takes the helm next week, replacing co-founder Jeromy Young.
'I believe Atomos has an extraordinary opportunity to expand into new markets, drive broader innovation, and build upon its proud history of pioneering technology.'
Atomos Limited chief executive officer-elect Peter Barber
Young, who steered Atomos from a garage startup to a globally recognised brand in video production tools, is stepping back into a non-executive director role, ensuring continuity during the shift.
Barber brings heavyweight industry credibility, with over 30 years of experience in the video production industry, having co-founded Blackmagic Design and orchestrating substantial corporate plays across the video tech space.
According to Young, Barber's forensic knowledge of the industry and his instrumental hand in reshaping Atomos' operations since joining as chief operating officer last year sealed the deal, branding Barber as 'the right leader at the right time.'
Barber is stepping up to the plate just as Atomos launched four new innovative products recently at the Las Vegas NAB technology fair, marking the company's most significant portfolio expansion to date.
Atomos says the move to release so many new offerings in one hit aligns with a management decision to diversify its product range.

ClearVue secures $80,000 first sale of new greenhouse technology
ClearVue Technologies has chalked up another run on the board by securing its first commercial agri-tech sale to install its greenhouse ground-source heat-exchange technology. The deal is worth $80,000. The sale was achieved through ClearVue's wholly owned Israeli subsidiary Opticrop, which ClearVue formed last year to acquire the intellectual property and assets of ROOTS Sustainable Agricultural Technologies. ROOTS was an Israeli-based protected-cropping agriculture technology supplier formerly listed on the ASX. Its award-winning assets include Root Zone Temperature Optimization and Irrigation by Condensation technologies, which the company developed to enhance plant growth and productivity. The technology also optimises water use, using stand-alone irrigation systems that extract water from humidity. 'This first sale for OptiCrop is a significant milestone for our ag-tech division and demonstrates early commercial traction in the protected cropping space.' ClearVue Technologies Global chief executive officer Martin Deil Under the deal, OptiCrop's proprietary ground-source heat-exchange cooling solution will be installed at a one-acre greenhouse being constructed by a global irrigation and greenhouse provider. The system's cooling coils are designed to optimise the temperatures of nutrient fluids that supply elevated plant gutters across the greenhouse for improved plant growth and energy efficiency. ClearVue Technologies Global chief executive officer Martin Deil said: 'This first sale for OptiCrop is a significant milestone for our ag-tech division and demonstrates early commercial traction in the protected cropping space. It validates our strategic direction following the acquisition of ROOTS and underlines the strong market potential for integrated solar greenhouses and sustainable climate-control solutions.' ClearVue's focus has for some time been strongly directed towards agricultural greenhouse design, employing its proprietary solar photovoltaic glass technologies to provide and support other optimal greenhouse solutions.

‘Genius': Aussie's Uber Eats hack to score free food goes viral
A woman claims to have 'cracked the code' to scoring free food when ordering Uber Eats, saying that all it takes is a little kindness. Taking to TikTok, content creator Emma Kate Boyd explained, 'All you have to do is write something really nice in the caption' when using the food delivery app. When ordering Vietnamese takeaway from Melbourne restaurant Miss Chu recently, she wrote 'I f**king love Miss Chu' in the order notes of the app. 'They gave me a free dessert,' she said proudly, holding up a container of chocolate pudding. 'It really is that simple – spread a little love, get a little love.' reached out to Uber Eats for comment, and while they couldn't quantify how often restaurants give out free items, it's understood that this does happen across the platform. Ms Boyd's video quickly went viral, racking up over 40,000 views, as users shared their own experiences trying this. 'I wrote a cute note once and they refunded my whole order,' said one user. 'I did that and they just put hearts on my items,' wrote another. Meanwhile, some argued that she shouldn't have shared this information publicly, as now everyone will do it and restaurants will catch on. 'Don't tell people this!' said one. However, others claimed it hasn't worked for them. 'I've done this for every order for five years and never got anything free,' they said. 'Most people just hate kindness, sadly'. It comes after a woman went viral last month for sharing a nifty way she got larger portions of takeaway food – and it came down to channelling your inner man. Emily Lemus claimed that using a man's name when ordering might lead to more generous portions – because workers assume they have bigger appetites. She seemingly 'proved' her theory by ordering identical meals from Chipotle, one with a man's name and one with a woman's, and then weighed them to see which one was larger. Every time she conducted the experiment, the man's order was slightly heavier. In the same month, a delivery driver also shared his tricks and tips for ordering from places like UberEats. 'You don't need to scam anyone or lie about your order,' he explained online. He said customers need to join restaurants' loyalty schemes that sometimes offer first-time customers free food. Additionally, he explained, 'Honestly, if you've got a birthday, you've got free food. Some people use this every year like clockwork'.
