MUMBAI: Online video startup Joost has announced that along with Joost.com, it will focus on providing white label online video platforms for media companies including cable and satellite providers, broadcasters and video aggregators.

This technology and service offering will support content owners’ efforts to build branded environments online.

 

The company notes that media companies around the world are embracing internet-based video portals as a key path to distribute their premium video, but building a world-class video portal is increasingly difficult and expensive.

Joost will focus on this issue and provide the market with a cost-effective, end-to-end solution for media companies to publish video under their own brands.

As a part of this new direction, Joost will reorganise and restructure its business. A core team in New York and London will work on providing these solutions as well as operating and supporting Joost.com and its associated video applications. Joost also will wind its operations in its Leiden development centre.

 
 

Among those who will be running the operations will be Matt Zelesko, currently engineering senior VP, who will take over as CEO while continuing to lead the engineering organisation. Stacey Seltzer is currently international business development and content acquisition senior VP.

Mike Volpi has stepped down as CEO but will remain actively involved as chairman of the board.
