Jigsaw24 Bolsters Media Team with Strategic Live and Cloud Appointments
Jigsaw24 has announced two key appointments to its media division, hiring Tom Laker as Client Director and Ashish Chauhan as Project Manager. The move signals a major push into the live and remote production sectors, leveraging Laker's extensive background in SaaS and cloud solutions from his time at LiveU and Grabyo.
Working alongside him, Chauhan brings deep systems integration expertise from ES Broadcast to streamline project delivery and client communication. Together, these hires are tasked with reinforcing Jigsaw24's ability to provide scalable, end-to-end solutions as broadcasters and content creators move toward more flexible, integrated production environments.
Tom Laker joins Jigsaw24 as Client Director, supporting Jigsaw24 to grow its presence in the live production market, working closely with customers and technology partners to deliver best-in-class solutions across both live and post-production environments. Tom brings extensive experience in live production and cloud-based workflows, most recently serving as SaaS and Cloud Solutions Sales Lead, at LiveU, and previously working with Grabyo.
"I am excited to join Jigsaw24 at such a pivotal time, not just for the industry, but for the company itself," said Laker. "This is a great opportunity to be part of a business that is evolving and investing in new areas, particularly in live and remote production. I'm looking forward to helping customers navigate this space and ensuring they have access to the right tools and workflows to succeed."
As Project Manager, Ashish Chauhan will oversee end-to-end project delivery. He aims to ensure efficient processes, clear client communications and outcomes aligned with customer expectations. Ashish also brings a strong background in broadcast systems integration, having previously worked at ES Broadcast as a Proposals Engineer.
Ashish added: "Jigsaw24's ambition and forward-looking approach really stood out to me. The business is focused on building more efficient, structured delivery processes while continuing to drive innovation. In my role, I am keen to make a positive impact by improving clarity for clients and ensuring projects are delivered smoothly from start to finish."
"Tom and Ashish bring highly complementary skillsets that align perfectly with Jigsaw24's strategic direction," said Lee Ballinger, Head of Media Sales, Jigsaw24. "As our customers look to do more with increasingly streamlined teams, it is essential that we provide joined-up, flexible solutions across live and post production. Their combined expertise strengthens our ability to deliver exactly that."
These appointments highlight Jigsaw24's ongoing expansion into live, remote and cloud-based production, reinforcing its commitment to supporting customers with scalable end-to-end solutions. The company is continuing to invest in talent and capabilities to support this growth, with further updates expected in the coming months.
