I love my job and I love Vimeo - serving as CEO has been the privilege of my career, and I am filled with gratitude for every minute of this wild and wonderful ride. This may surprise people, and in truth the process of reaching this decision has surprised me. Today I shared some big news with my team: after nine years at Vimeo, I have decided to step down as CEO in the coming months, to take on a new opportunity in a new space. To the Tubi team - I can’t wait to go down this rabbit hole with you, and shape the next generation of entertainment together! □ □ □ I start in September, and will be spending the rest of the summer transitioning Vimeo into very capable hands. ![]() Tubi is doing things differently in a space that is being imminently disrupted, and that is my kind of opportunity. I am betting that Tubi can become the destination for the next generation of audiences, who are not only cutting the cord but also spending more of their time on YouTube and TikTok than traditional streaming services. Interestingly, Tubi’s audience is growing the fastest among younger, more diverse viewers and those interested in special-interest verticals. The service has scaled without investing in expensive original content, but rather by amassing the world’s largest library of long-tail movies and TV series, and by applying algorithms and data science to create a more personalized experience.Īnd it’s working - Tubi reaches 64 million monthly active users and recently surpassed HBO Max and Peacock in total TV viewing minutes. Tubi was launched in 2014 by two entrepreneurs, and is today the most watched free ad-supported TV streaming service in the United States. We are witnessing a seismic shift in where and how content will be consumed, and I hope to play a role in shaping the future of entertainment, by giving all people access to all the world's stories. I'm excited to be dedicating my next chapter to empowering audiences. ![]() My focus (obsession) over the last decade has been on empowering video creators, by giving more people the tools to create compelling content and reach their audience. No other medium has the ability to bring stories to life in a deeply personal way, while simultaneously reaching every corner of the globe. Today I am sharing my next adventure, as the incoming CEO of Tubi!Īnyone who knows me knows that I believe in the power of video.
