Milestone Systems appoints Andy Burnett as chief technology officer

COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Milestone Systems has announced the appointment of Andy Burnett as the company’s new chief technology officer (CTO), effective immediately.

Burnett has served as interim CTO since September, during which he has demonstrated strong leadership, clear strategic direction, and consistent execution across Milestone’s most critical technology initiatives.

Milestone CEO Jeppe Frandsen highlights Burnett’s decisive impact during the interim period:

“Andy has shown exactly the kind of technology leadership Milestone needs - focused, collaborative, and deeply committed to both people and performance,” he said. “His understanding of our technology landscape and his vision for where we must go next make him the right person to lead our Product & Technology Group forward.”

Since joining Milestone in 2023, Burnett has played a central role in shaping the Product & Technology Group (PTG) strategy and strengthening the company’s technology foundation.

His previous leadership of Milestone’s Emerging Technology team, along with his close involvement in Project Hafnia and the collaboration with NVIDIA has given him a unique perspective across the full portfolio - spanning video management software, analytics, and next‑generation innovation such as the new Milestone Vision Language Model.

“I’m excited about the role and the journey we’re on - both within the Product & Technology Group and across Milestone,” Burnett said. “We have an incredible team, strong momentum, and a lot to deliver. I’m looking forward to bringing these pieces together, executing on our strategy this year, and continuing to build on the opportunities ahead.”

Prior to joining Milestone, Burnett held senior technology leadership roles at TV 2 Danmark, YouView, and ITV, where he led large‑scale digital transformation programs, platform modernization, and the delivery of consumer‑facing technology services.
