Edgio, a platform of choice for speed, security, and simplicity at the edge, has promoted Todd Hinders to the position of CEO.
Chief Revenue Officer of Edgio since May 2023, Hinders replaces Bob Lyons, who has resigned from his role as President & CEO and as a member of the board of directors. Hinders has a 25-year track record of success, building cloud, security, edge, and media platform businesses in both start-up environments and high growth hyperscalers.
He has led global sales and customer growth for AWS Elemental, an Amazon Web Services company, overseeing go-to-market activities for AWS Elemental Media Services, CloudFront, Twitch Interactive Video Service, and Edge security products.
Prior to his time at AWS Elemental, Todd held numerous leadership roles at Cisco Systems, Maven Networks, Encoding.com/Loudeye and other leading technology firms where he has demonstrated his strategic, go-to-market and business capability.
Hinders said, “I’m thrilled to be leading Edgio at this exciting time for the company. Edgio is on a transformative journey. We’re diligently optimising our global edge-network, expanding our customer base, particularly in high-margin streaming and application businesses and reducing operating expenses.
“We have also been adding world-class talent to our team and strengthening our balance sheet.
“Together with our new board of directors, the executive team, our dedicated employees, and valued customers and partners, we intend to build a world-class company, relentlessly delivering on customer success and maximising shareholder value.”
