Former Google exec joins Blackbird board

london - Blackbird plc (AIM: BIRD), the developer and seller of the market-leading cloud video editing platform, Blackbird®, is pleased to announce that John Honeycutt will join the Board of the Company on 24 June 2020 as a Non-Executive Director.

He has significant international experience in business strategy and operations, mergers and acquisitions, transformation and large-scale project delivery across all aspects of the media industry. Previous employers include Google, Discovery Communications, FOX Cable Networks and Liberty Media.



John was SVP Broadcast Operations at Fox from 1995 until to 2003 before holding roles as Chief Media Technology Officer, Chief Operating Officer as well as Chief Technology Officer at Discovery from 2003 to 2019. John then joined Google as Vice President of Telecommunications, Media and Entertainment and Gaming, where he developed Google Cloud's initial product development and go-to-market strategies across those sectors globally. John has now established The Sandy Valley Group, an independent advisory firm focused on the technology, transformation and growth strategies media and entertainment companies must implement in order to thrive over the next decade.

He brings knowledge, experience and connectivity to global players and will make a valuable contribution to the future of Blackbird. We are delighted to welcome John to the Board."



Ian McDonough, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbird, said: "I am incredibly excited that John is joining our team to help us realise our full potential. To attract someone of his global stature is another huge coup after bringing in Dawn Airey last year. It is testimony to the team, the strength of Blackbird's patented technology and how we can take a leadership role in the world's video industries. His knowledge of the media and technology markets is second to none and his vision as to where it is heading will be an invaluable asset to me and the team."

Flexibility, speed, collaboration and now distance are all key requirements in editing products. Blackbird's remarkable technology is unique and transformative in all of these areas. I'm very excited to be joining Blackbird's first-class team and can't wait to help the company achieve its ambitious growth objectives."

We are not now looking at a single lrge OEM customer to come. In that interview IM is very clearly disclosing that he is in discussion with multiple OEMs and telecoms to build Blackbird into their own products. Thus growth of revenue will come at their expense and BIRD's marginal costs of expansion should henceforward sink to very low.

[bonio10000] 23/6/2020 21:33

Time for a 1m conga?

[cabi1] 23/6/2020 21:16

Bonio.

Just listened to IM interview.

Sounds like we are.

[bonio10000] 23/6/2020 21:15

We should definitely adopt Charlie Brown as a logo.

Protected are the ones that clear once everything done like the 600k.

Non protected could be T traders -have never seen on BIRD.

Maybe CFD or spreadbets ..

Can someone who does that gambling check (have they increased margin or something)?

[chriscallen] 23/6/2020 18:03

BIRD is now only 2 x "large" deals (as defined by IM) away from break even and positive cashflow. In the second half they should accelerate the rate of adoption and hopefully NickB will prove correct and they will push sales well beyond £10M. Even if they pay commission they will, based on SWs comments, make 85% margin and over 90% on direct sales.

[nickb] 23/6/2020 17:59

What does that mean?

[sideshowbull] 23/6/2020 17:53

Non protective portfolio marked trades popping up today and delayed. Weird.

[bonio10000] 23/6/2020 16:35

Hopefully the 600k was Lees.

[baracuda2] 23/6/2020 16:25

Yeah right

[sideshowbull] 23/6/2020 16:01

Max 25k @ 16.88p

[nickb] 23/6/2020 15:59
