Video streaming specialist Bitmovin has appointed Ian Baglow as co-CEO alongside existing CEO and Co-Founder Stefan Lederer. Baglow will lead day-to-day operations and work to strengthen the business with customers and partners, while Lederer will focus on strategic developments and the wider market.
Baglow joined Bitmovin in 2021 as Chief Revenue Officer. His role expanded in 2024 when he became the company’s President and Chief Revenue and Operations Officer.
Baglow said: “I’m honoured to be appointed as Co-CEO, where I will, of course, continue to work closely with Stefan, whom I have great admiration and respect for. This shared leadership role will allow us to use our highly complementary skills and strengths to take Bitmovin to new levels, and I look forward to solidifying Bitmovin’s market position and contributing to its continued growth.”
Lederer added: “Ian has played a key role in driving company growth in recent years, and I believe as Co-CEO, he will be integral to Bitmovin’s sustainable expansion and success. With Ian managing day-to-day operations and strengthening partnerships, I’ll be able to focus more on the next generation of our technology, as well as the strategic side of the business, which are both topics that I’m very much looking forward to.”
