With a career spanning over three decades, Jon Edwards is a seasoned executive for broadcast and media operations and engineering. During his 23-year tenure at Disney, he held key leadership roles across both operations and engineering. Most recently, he directed the global media delivery team, overseeing the distribution of general entertainment assets across linear networks and VOD platforms. Working closely with his engineering teams, Jon successfully championed initiatives to consolidate technology portfolios, significantly reduce costs and optimized system performance.
Jon’s roots in the communications industry trace back to 1991, beginning as a US Army radio operator in Europe. Since then, his experience has encompassed the full spectrum of broadcast roles—from live production and technical directing for news to master control. As an engineering leader, he has successfully guided facility, production, and media systems teams. Jon has spearheaded major projects ranging from the construction of comprehensive master control facilities to the consolidation of critical on-air systems. In the last five years, he has led major efforts to abstract master control and origination to private data centers and a major consolidation of engineering and operations to Texas.
Today, Jon is thrilled to bring his expertise to the innovative team at LTN Global, leading a team of the industry’s best solution engineers to design and on-board our customers onto LTN’s highly regarded media enrichment network. He looks forward to collaborating with industry leaders and helping to drive LTN’s massive growth in the coming years.
