Successful entrepreneur and marketer brings
extensive digital marketing experience and strategic business
acumen to online video platform leader
Brightcove (NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading provider of cloud services
for video, today announced that Diane Hessan, successful business
executive, marketing authority and serial entrepreneur, has been
elected to Brightcove’s board of directors.
Hessan is currently Chairman of C Space, an innovative market
research company that was acquired by Omnicom in 2011. During her
13 years as CEO, she led C Space in achieving exponential growth,
building an organization of over 500 people with offices in 12
countries and “a Blue Chip client list that would make a Madison
Avenue giant jealous,” according to Advertising Age.
“Diane is the perfect choice for Brightcove at this stage of our
company,” said David Mendels, Brightcove’s CEO. “Diane has a deep
understanding of the challenges facing today’s CMOs and their
marketing teams. We believe that her expertise, together with her
business operations and public company experience, will help us
capture the incredible opportunities that the exponential growth of
video offers us, especially with digital marketers and
enterprises.”
“Brightcove is looking to solve a big problem for marketers and
enterprises,” said Hessan. “And what’s even more exciting for me
are the rave reviews I’ve heard about the company in my
conversations with customers, analysts, and tech industry insiders.
It isn’t often that you find a company that is delivering
outstanding products, executing well in market, and continually
innovating. Brightcove is doing all three.”
Hessan earned an M.B.A from Harvard Business School and a B.A.
in Economics from Tufts University. She has extensive experience
serving on boards, including Panera, Eastern Bank, Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center, Mass Challenge, and Tufts University. She
co-authored the Business Week best seller Customer-Centered Growth
with Richard Whiteley, which examined how today's successful
companies are achieving explosive growth. She has received numerous
business awards and, in her spare time, founded The Sound Bytes, an
a cappella group that sings about business.
