Gaia, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a conscious media and community company,
today announced that it has appointed James Colquhoun as Chief
Executive Officer.
In his new role, Colquhoun will be responsible for overseeing
Gaia’s growth and day-to-day operations, reporting to founder Jirka
Rysavy in his role of executive chairman. Colquhoun will be
leveraging his marketing skills and leadership abilities to help
Gaia provide unique conscious content to its passionate member
base.
Colquhoun has served as Gaia’s Chief Operating Officer since
June 2023. He founded and served as FMTV’s Chief Executive Officer
until FMTV was acquired by Gaia in June 2019. Since 2020 he has
also served as a member of Gaia’s board of directors.
“We had a very good experience with the FMTV transition and
James’ participation with Gaia so far,” said Jirka Rysavy, Gaia’s
founder and chairman. “I had an eye on him since the FMTV
acquisition and I’m thankful for James’ willingness to relocate
from Australia to join us full time. He brings strong digital
marketing and brand building skills and I’m looking forward to
working with him in his new expanded role.”
“I’m honored to lead Gaia through its next phase of growth,”
said Colquhoun. “We have an incredibly talented team fully
committed to our mission of creating a transformational network
that enlightens, empowers, and connects our community through
unique conscious content. I look forward to partnering with Jirka,
our board and the entire Gaia family on this journey.”
Gaia is also announcing the launch of a new AI powered search
engine, trained on categorical metadata and transcripts, unlocking
the power of the world’s largest transformational conscious media
library of over 10,000 titles in English, Spanish, French and
German.
Members can now enter natural language queries related to their
transformational interests and quickly uncover the most relevant
films, series episodes, yoga classes, or documentary content to
stream. As Gaia’s AI technology continues learning users’
preferences, it delivers increasingly tailored recommendations over
time. This continues the brand’s focus on establishing itself as
the world’s leading player in the conscious and transformative
media space.
