Marc DeBevoise has been named as the new CEO & Board Director of video solutions provider Brightcove. Assuming his position on March 28, 2022, DeBevoise will succeed Jeff Ray, who will retire from his role as CEO & Board Director.

Media industry veteran DeBevoise previously served as the Chief Digital Officer of ViacomCBS, CEO & President of CBS Interactive, and held leadership roles at Starz and NBCUniversal.

In his roles at ViacomCBS, DeBevoise led the company’s unified streaming, digital and technology operations globally and was responsible for the company’s direct-to-consumer (D2C) streaming services.

As the architect of CBS’s digital strategy, DeBevoise positioned the company as a leading multi-platform content company with a Top 10 consumer Internet portfolio and a leadership position in ad-supported and subscription D2C streaming.

DeBevoise said, “Brightcove enables any enterprise, brand, media entity or content creator to create and distribute content on its own terms and capture its own streaming future. There is simply no better time to be a distributed, agnostic, video platform.

“Brightcove is known for delivering world-class scalability, security and reliability — all requirements to deliver exceptional value to customers.

“I am thrilled to be joining this talented team and look forward to delivering even more innovation for our customers and their audiences.”
