Rick Clarkson rejoined Signiant in 2018, filling the newly created position of Chief Product Officer to steer the roadmap for new services that leverage Signiant’s market-leading SaaS platform and huge global footprint in the Media & Entertainment space. In his previous eight-year tenure at Signiant, Rick was one of the leaders in the company’s SaaS transition. His vision of using cloud technology to build a powerfully simple file transfer solution led to the category-defining Media Shuttle product, Signiant’s first SaaS offering. With over 25 years in software technology, Rick spent his early career as an engineer and moved into leadership roles in product management and strategy working with companies to include SevOne, VidSys, Motorola, Sightpath, Cisco and others. When Rick is not busy defining the next big thing for Signiant, he spends his time golfing, traveling with family, enjoying wine and cheering on all the Boston sports teams. Rick has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts and an MBA from Bentley University.
