Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Boyd is a product leadership veteran with 16+ years building streaming media and ad tech platforms that scale from startups to global enterprises. He has led product strategy at Prime Video—driving playback infrastructure that supported record-breaking live events and launched PaaS offerings—and helped JW Player grow revenue fivefold through product, developer, and ad innovations (including a patented real-time video advertising solution). Eric combines technical fluency with strong people leadership, having built and mentored high-performing product teams and established cross-functional roadmaps that cut operational burden and unlocked new revenue. He’s comfortable turning ambiguity into measurable outcomes, whether architecting session-level security to reduce piracy or piloting LLM-driven Brand Standards to improve media buy suitability. Based in New York, he pairs a physics background with a creative streak—watercolor, sci-fi, and poetry—that informs a curious, design-forward approach to product.
