ARCATA, CALIF. — The StreamGuys team is heading from California to Amsterdam, as IBC2025 commences later this week. Just in time for the conference and expo, the company led by COO Jonathan Speaker and President Kiriki Delany has named a new Executive VP of Global Sales and a new EVP of Engineering.
Taking the sales post is Tim LaBelle, as the engineering duties go to Jesse Orr.
“My primary responsibilities are to lead global sales, ensuring media companies can leverage our extensive services and programs,” said LaBelle. “My experience with bringing a technical perspective to sales helps me address emerging customer challenges, diversify our markets, and support our teams to develop business initiatives that generate clients’ revenue. That includes continued development of our monetization and advertising revenue business, and helping our customers be as successful as possible.”
Orr has long been a key contributor and leader behind the scenes at StreamGuys, where his core responsibilities include bringing more efficiency to both StreamGuys and customer organizations. That includes maintaining the networking and infrastructure, global data centers, and working to assure 100 percent uptime for customers streams and StreamGuys’ suite of services.
“I’ll work with our product development and systems engineering teams to adopt modern practices for software and coding, deploy new AI and automation for service monitoring and more, and generally maintain the highest level of network service for StreamGuys and our customers,” said Orr. “I’ll also work closely with product management and analytics to maintain our leadership positions in product and service innovation.”
Delany commented, “StreamGuys works for independent media companies around the world, we lead the streaming industry in quality and service, and we do that with our team of expert and friendly streaming staff. Tim and Jesse are two outstanding stars amongst our team. They are an invaluable resource for our customers and staff alike. Having been in business for 25 years we are excited to continue our legacy with their executive leadership.”
