Zixi Names Alyson Stewart Senior Director Of Sales

Zixi has appointed Alyson Stewart as Senior Director of Sales, with a remit to accelerate direct sales and partnerships while strengthening relationships with broadcasters, media organisations and enterprise customers as the company broadens its presence in the media and entertainment sector.

In the role, Stewart will focus on building new business through Zixi’s direct channel, deepening go-to-market alliances, and helping clients modernise live video workflows from legacy infrastructure to scalable, IP-based delivery.

"Alyson brings exactly the kind of experience and relationships we need as we scale our direct sales and partner motion," said Marc Aldrich, CEO of Zixi. "She has spent her career entrenched in the worlds of media and technology, and her deep understanding of both the programming and operational sides of this business will be a real asset to our customers and our team. I've had the privilege of working alongside Alyson before, and I know firsthand the value she brings."

Stewart brings more than two decades of experience across software and SaaS sales, media distribution, operations, rights management and asset delivery. She joins from Hydrolix, where she helped build the company's enterprise direct sales and partner go-to-market approach. Before that, she spent five years at AWS in the Media, Entertainment, Games & Sports business unit, collaborating with partners and engineering teams to develop and launch customer-facing solutions for real-world industry needs.

Earlier in her career, Stewart served as SVP of Global Sales, Strategy & Operations at independent film distributor Gravitas Ventures, then as SVP of Sales at media rights management firm Mediamorph, and spent thirteen years as VP/SVP Sales at Vubiquity, a VOD content services provider. She previously held sales roles at Starz, The Weather Channel and Turner Networks.
