Qwilt Adds MLBAM CTO to Board

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Qwilt, a leading provider of content delivery solutions, announced today that Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) executive Joe Inzerillo has joined its Board of Directors. Joe is joining the Qwilt Board at a seminal time for the company, which recently announced its vision to enable the Open Edge Cloud in Service Provider networks. Joe and MLBAM have a history of working collaboratively with Qwilt and the streaming industry broadly as both MLBAM and Qwilt were Founding Members of the Streaming Video Alliance in the fall of 2014.

As the most recent addition to the Qwilt Board, Joe Inzerillo brings deep experience in next-generation video platforms and over 30 years of experience with professional sports technology. Joe has served on numerous advisory boards, was a CTO for a startup stage IP television provider and a consultant in the media asset management/video production space. Joe started his sports career in 1987 with the Chicago White Sox and is the former CTO of the United Center (home of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks).

Joe’s introduction as a new outside Board member is a strong signal of Qwilt’s trajectory as a next generation content delivery software platform for service providers. Qwilt has been actively engaging with the content delivery ecosystem, including commercial CDNs and Content Providers like MLBAM, both directly and through the Streaming Video Alliance. In January Qwilt announced its vision for an Edge Cloud within Service Provider networks that would provide the scale, reach and quality needed to stream live events and on-demand programing to billions of viewers. Qwilt’s vision aligns with many industry experts who have acknowledged the need for the edge cloud and edge computing to enable new applications like 4K Live Streaming, VR, AR and 360 Video where low latency and massive scale are crucial to creating a great user experience.
