Leading product and engineering teams with empathy and energy.

This week closes a remarkable chapter that started nearly nine years ago. I left Google to join Wicket Labs with the vision of turning streaming data into action and insight. After our acquisition by Brightcove, that idea scaled to support thousands of customers and hundreds of billions of video views. Over time, my role expanded to include leading Brightcove’s VOD delivery, players, and encoding. Now, with Brightcove’s acquisition by Bending Spoons, this time comes to an end. You don’t always know where each career path will lead, but this has been an immensely rewarding experience. I’m grateful to have worked with an amazing global team and built lasting friendships across the US, Mexico, Japan, the UK, and Portugal. I deeply appreciate the customers who trusted us with a critical part of their business and the partners who made our work possible. Thanks to all of you. With this chapter closing, I’m excited for the opportunities ahead. I'm now #opentowork.

Joey Lesh what a pleasure to work with you over the last 2.5 years. Your brilliance, your leadership, your energy, your creativity - and the drive you foster is the great kind of infectious :) i would welcome the opportunity to work together again - in any format - any where

Good luck, Joey! I am still benefiting from the way you introduced me in to Google to take your old job. Let me know if I can ever help.

What a ride! It's been amazing to watch you step up to new, bigger challenges and "scale" yourself as you've done for so many products. It's been a real privilege to partner with you over the years and I cannot wait to see what you do next.
