MUMBAI: Stuart Barnes has been quite a mover and a shaker in the sales world of streaming video. Now he’s moving again. Back to (category leader in dynamic ad insertion) Yospace as VP of international sales in January.

Says Stuart: “Yospace was where I started my video journey some 20 years ago and I'm looking forward to coming full circle!”

Indeed he did. For nearly five years between 2003 and 2008. He then joined Bauer Media for another couple of years leading the Yospace product portfolio after it was taken over. Then followed a long journey of more than nine years at Brightcove – which was taken over by Bending Spoons recently – where he rose to become vice-president  new business sales, North America based in New York.

Initially, he began working for Brightcove in London as regional sales director, northern Europe but he was steered to the US with American market responsibility and he stayed put with the company in New York as vice-president sales, account management, north America for six years.  He finally .moved back to the UK last year as vice-president sales and account management EMEA for BrightCove.

But he decided to go back home to Yospace when the opportunity came calling.  At Yospace, Staurt is looking forward to working with CEO Tim Sewell  and the team there.
