CUPERTINO, CA—March 26, 2025 — TVU Networks, the global leader in cloud and IP-based live video solutions, today announced the appointment of John Wastcoat as Senior Director of Partner Development. With more than two decades of experience forging and scaling high-impact alliances in the media technology space, John joins TVU at a pivotal moment as the company accelerates its transformation into a platform-first partner ecosystem.

John brings a proven track record of building strategic alliances that unlock partner and customer growth. Most recently, at Zixi, he successfully developed a broad global ecosystem of OEMs, technology partners, and resellers, delivering a broad set of complementary services to the customer base. Previously, at Aspera, he expanded the partner community to include over 500 integrated offerings and alliances—including partnerships with Amazon, Microsoft, Akamai, and Telstra- significantly fueling the company’s trajectory prior to its acquisition by IBM and contributed to post-acquisition success.

“TVU has always believed in the power of partnerships to drive meaningful change in our industry,” said Mike Cronk, Vice President of Strategy at TVU Networks. “In the past year, we’ve witnessed how powerful that can be—supporting industry-first, award-winning cloud workflows for global events like the Games in Paris and the UK elections. Building on that momentum and TVU’s strong history of collaboration, this marks a new phase—one where we’re expanding the opportunities for partners to build on TVU’s cloud platform and unlock greater success together.”

“TVU Networks is a company that blends visionary technology with a deep commitment to partnership,” said John Wastcoat. “I’m thrilled to be joining the team at such an exciting time and look forward to working with our broad community of partners—whether they’re technology providers, system integrators or end users—to accelerate success and innovation across the board.”

John will be attending NAB 2025, where TVU will showcase its latest innovations and partner-enablement initiatives.
