Waltham, MA – August 11, 2026 – Zixi has appointed Alyson Stewart as Senior Director of Sales. In her new role, Stewart will drive direct sales and partnerships, deepening Zixi’s relationships with broadcasters, media companies, and enterprise clients as the company continues to expand its footprint across the media and entertainment industry.
Stewart will be responsible for growing new business across Zixi’s direct sales channel, strengthening go-to-market partnerships, and supporting customers as they transition live video workflows from legacy infrastructure to scalable, IP-based delivery.
“Alyson brings exactly the kind of experience and relationships we need as we scale our direct sales and partner motion,” said Marc Aldrich, CEO of Zixi. “She has spent her career entrenched in the worlds of media and technology, and her deep understanding of both the programming and operational sides of this business will be a real asset to our customers and our team. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Alyson before, and I know firsthand the value she brings.”
Stewart brings more than twenty years of experience spanning software and SaaS sales, media distribution, operations, rights management, and asset delivery. She joins Zixi from Hydrolix, where she helped establish the company’s enterprise direct sales and partner go-to-market motion. Prior to Hydrolix, Stewart spent five years with AWS in the Media, Entertainment, Games & Sports business unit, working closely with AWS partners and engineering teams to build and bring customer-facing solutions to market for real-world industry use cases.
Before AWS, Stewart served as SVP of Global Sales, Strategy & Operations at independent film distributor Gravitas Ventures, followed by two years as SVP of Sales for media rights management company Mediamorph and thirteen years as VP/SVP Sales at Vubiquity, a VOD content services provider. These roles followed earlier sales positions with other prominent media organizations, including Starz, The Weather Channel, and Turner Networks.
“I’ve long admired the strength of the Zixi platform and the role it plays in live media workflows,” said Stewart. “I’m excited to join the team and help our customers navigate the shift to IP-based video delivery.”
