At 3Crowd, we believe in the power of three, but we love a crowd even more.

We are excited about the addition of a new vice president of engineering and director of products to 3Crowd. Ronn Brashear and Grégoire Villain join the team to help drive strategic planning and product development activities. We are enhancing our technology staff to support growth of CrowdDirector, as well as new infrastructure applications.

As Vice President of Engineering, Ronn will provide vision, expertise and leadership to the technology research and development effort at 3Crowd. As Director of Products, Greg will lead the product development and marketing efforts, focusing on forging new paths in online content delivery.

Prior to 3Crowd, Ronn served as director of engineering at OnLive, a cloud-gaming service, where he led the architecture and creation of the service infrastructure. He also served as an architect for Tellme, and has held leadership roles at Austin Decisions, Trilogy, and LiveOps. Not only is he a technical wizard, he hires out for parties…really! He is a card-carry member of the magician’s union.

Greg was formerly in charge of the CDN market and product development for the EMEA Region at TATA Communications. Villain has also held various network engineering positions, ranging from engineering triple play networks for a DSL unbundling mass market ISP, as well as designing, and implementing network and hosting infrastructures for high volume content platforms. He also designed and rolled-out Internet Exchange points in France and the Middle East. He is moving from Paris and I am convinced it is because he wants to live where truly great wine is made.

We think these are fantastic additions to the team and couldn’t be more confident that the combined expertise of both Ronn and Greg will help push 3Crowd’s position forward.
