Avido ha apportato aggiunte significative al suo team dirigenziale nel tentativo di soddisfare le esigenze del mutevole panorama dei media: Tom Sharma è stato nominato CTO e Dominic Constandi ricoprirà il ruolo di CCO, mentre Kenna Hilburn accelererà lo sviluppo di prodotti innovativi dalla posizione di Senior Vice President of Product.

Tom Sharma, il nuovo CTO, porterà più di un decennio di esperienza nel settore dei media e dell'intrattenimento. Sharma ha svolto un ruolo chiave in innovazioni che hanno definito il settore, come il lancio di Hulu. Most recently, he was an advisor to venture capital funds, providing strategic guidance on product, technology and growth initiatives. Previously, he was Chief Product Officer at Integral Ad Science (IAS), a $500+ million ad tech software company, where he was part of the management team that grew revenue by 148% and led the company to an IPO. Sharma has also held leadership roles in media and entertainment, video streaming and ad tech, building global engineering teams and high-performance products. At Avid, he will be responsible for driving innovation and technology to create value for customers, ensuring the company remains at the forefront of industry advancements.

Dominic Constandi, Chief Customer Officer (CCO), joins Avid after leading large-scale customer teams at Sovos and ZoomInfo, where he helped grow the company’s annual recurring revenue to more than $1.2 billion. His leadership at Sovos included overseeing a client delivery team of more than 850 members, driving operational efficiencies and significantly improving retention and revenue growth. At Avid, Constandi will focus on reinforcing Avid’s culture of putting the customer first, looking for the company to ‘continue to deliver exceptional value to its customers around the world’.

Finally, Kenna Hilburn, senior vice president of product, has more than 17 years of experience leading product and business operations teams in the digital media and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) marketing sectors. A former television producer, Hilburn began her career at a national lifestyle network before moving into the digital commerce space, where she created and led video strategies for major retailers such as Petco. Most recently, at Marigold, she led cross-functional product operations, addressing customer pain points and business objectives. At Avid, he will lead the product management teams, pursuing a unified, strategic approach to deliver cutting-edge solutions that empower creators and reinforce Avid’s reputation for excellence in product delivery.

Wellford Dillard, CEO of Avido, welcomed the three professionals: “With the appointment of Tom, Dominic and Kenna we now have a world-class leadership team that will steer our vision, and support our focus on providing the most complete and flexible end-to-end solutions. Their expertise and leadership will enable us to deliver for our customers and empower greater creators, delivering the tools, workflows, and services they need to deliver content that reaches and expands audiences.”
