MUMBAI: Home entertainment solutions provider TiVo has announced the resignation of Marty Yudkovitz as president of the company.

He will remain with TiVo in a consulting capacity on certain continuing matters for a period of time. Marty has been president of the company since May of 2003.

"When I joined TiVo I planned to move my family to California, but as the demands of my role grew, the need to spend even more time on both coasts grew as well, requiring a heavy commute no matter where I lived," Yudkovitz said in a company release. "I've chosen instead to find the most logical time to resign as president and re-acquaint myself with my wife and kids."

"Marty has achieved a tremendous amount in his time with the company, particularly with the television and advertising industries. Given how far we've come, we agreed that now seemed a good time if Marty wanted to transition out of his full-time role as president," said TiVo CEO Mike Ramsay.

Yudkovitz's resignation was effective 31 January 2005.
