Video Streaming Pioneer John Bishop Joins Zixi Board Of Directors

One of the earliest pioneers of video streaming, John Bishop, has joined Zixi's Board of Directors.
Zixi is an industry leader for enabling dependable, live broadcast-quality video over unmanaged and managed IP.
Mr Bishop, a recognised web streaming and IP network distribution technologist, brings more than 20 years' market experience to the Board.
He currently serves as the President of Librestream where he leads the company's product and business development strategies in the enterprise collaborative video market. Prior to joining Librestream, he was the Chief Technology Officer for the Akamai media business, the global leader in Content Delivery Network services. He has also served as Director Content Provider Video Technologies at Cisco Systems, and as co-founder and Senior Vice President of Products and Business Development at Inlet Technologies which was acquired by Cisco in March 2011.
Mr Bishop has spoken at key industry events such as NAB and IBC and has sat on the Technology & Engineering Achievement Committee of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
"John brings a tremendous amount of product and corporate strategy knowledge in the video market to Zixi, at a time when we are seeing exceptional growth and adoption across all of our product lines," said Gordon Brooks, Executive Chairman, Zixi. "We are excited to have his vision and leadership within the board, which will greatly help our team and our customers."
"Zixi has developed the most disruptive technologies to impact the media market since the transition to digital, tools that are completely relied on and trusted by the most important organizations in the industry for mission critical applications," added Mr Bishop. "The technology aligns with both traditional distribution and OTT distribution models providing efficiencies and scale to both."
