SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vyond, a SaaS video creation company that allows everyone to create video quickly and easily, today announced Andrew Chan as the company’s new Head of Engineering.

Bringing more than two decades of experience managing software teams, designing high-performance and scalable systems, and delivering results-oriented project management, Chan will lead Vyond’s team of engineers as it continues to strengthen its leadership position in the video creation market. Specifically, Chan’s technical prowess will help Vyond build new and innovative technology, roll out new product features with greater velocity, and continually improve on already stellar information security and data privacy measures, all to drive growth in the market.

“We’re thrilled to add the expertise and technical leadership that Andrew brings to our team,” Chief Executive Officer Gary Lipkowitz said. “Leading our Hong Kong development team and as an integral part of Vyond’s leadership team, Andrew will help us keep pace with the growing demand for our market-leading video creation technology.”

In his new role, Chan will coordinate technology R&D, software development, and product delivery between the Asia Pacific development team and Vyond’s Bay Area commercial team.
