To strengthen its focus on building a broader cloud-first media-tech platform, Amagi has named Richard Perkett as its new Chief Product Officer. Perkett brings more than 25 years of experience in product management, product marketing, engineering, and user experience (UX) to Amagi, with a proven track record of leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-centric product strategies across multiple industries.
As Chief Product Officer, Perkett is set to steer Amagi’s product strategy with an acute focus that is meticulously aligned with customers’ goals and priorities. His role will involve not only pinpointing its customers’ unique challenges but also deeply understanding their specific needs.
Formerly from Rapid7, a computer and network security company, Perkett’s strategic vision and sharp insights are crucial as Amagi aims to develop targeted solutions that effectively address these challenges and aid in its customers’ success. His leadership is expected to greatly enhance the company’s capacity to tailor offerings in ways that truly resonate with and benefit customers, ensuring Amagi’s products are indispensable tools for their progress.
Perkett said, “I’m incredibly excited to join Amagi at such a pivotal time in the company’s journey. The opportunity to lead a talented product organisation and contribute to shaping Amagi 2.0 is truly inspiring.
“I am confident that by fostering a strong product culture, we will be able to deliver even greater value to our customers and achieve remarkable growth.”
