Anthony Harris Leaves Image Source: Christina Vaughan Returns As CEO

Posted on 2/8/2018 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (0)

As of January 31st Anthony Harris has stepped down as CEO of Image Source and Christina Vaughan has returned to the CEO position.

In 2015 Christina turned over her leadership of Image Source to Mr. Harris, but remained a small shareholder. She moved to the position of CEO at CueSongs, and oversaw the initial deployment and beta testing of the new CuePro platform, which won the Technology Strategy Board competition in 2014 and received a substantial grant to develop its “Frictionless Music Licensing for Online Broadcast”.

On the death of her father in January 2016 she left CueSongs to return to her family home and spend time with her mother. She then started an Influencer Marketing business called Nuala which is doing well in early stage development. Through Nuala she made contact with professional Investor, Michael Jackson, ex-Chairman of software firm, Sage.  



When Anthony was looking to realize some capital and sell his shares Christina decided to step back in to buy the business along with the supported of Michael Jackson. They bought out Anthony's shares and those of three other Members of the Board to take ownership of the business with Christina returning as CEO. At some point they will be looking to incorporate Nuala into Image Source.

Anthony was with Getty Images prior to 2006 when he left to start Cultura Creative, which later merged with Image Source. In his announcement to contributors Anthony said, “I’m looking forward to the new chapter in my life, my plans still have to be determined but I would hope that in one way or another our paths will continue to cross.”
