Welcome our new CEO, Jason Teichman!

We’re thrilled to announce the appointment of Jason Teichman as Pond5’s new Chief Executive Officer and Board Director!

Jason brings with him more than two decades of experience in running digital-media businesses. Most recently, he served as Chief Operating Officer at Web.com Group, where he helped businesses of all sizes to drive growth with a platform of creative services and online-marketing solutions.

Note from Co-Founder Tom Bennett:
Our co-founder and Executive Chairman, Tom Bennett, wanted to provide his perspective on this exciting stage of our company’s evolution.

Pond5 was founded with the mission of empowering media makers and fueling creativity. Since 2006 more than 60,000 artists have entrusted us with what is now the deepest repository of royalty-free footage available online, as well as a vast array of other creative assets. Hundreds of thousands of creators have used this material to create work that has been seen and experienced by many millions of viewers. The collection and the community are growing faster than ever, and we’re still only at the beginning of our story.

As we enter into this next phase of our growth, I’m incredibly excited to welcome Jason on board. He brings the perfect skillset and experience to leverage our success and to take Pond5 to the next level. Throughout his career he has applied focus, hustle and ingenuity to drive consistently strong results and grow companies at scale. He’s all-in on our mission, and understands the needs of the artists that use our platform. I’m looking forward to working with him, the team, and the Pond5 community to continue to make Pond5 the absolute best place for creators to find inspiration and to earn money doing what they love.

Here’s to the next chapter in Pond5’s story!

Congratulations, I hope we can start moving forward again. I am looking forward to some exciting things!

Congrats on new initiatives and looking forward to upward and onward. Just one change in leadership? Who did we say goodbye to?

Welcome!! Please do not copy the business model of Getty Images! I dropped my exclusive contract there because of the way they treated artist. I like the atmosphere here a lot better and hope to help Pond5 become the best place to buy media. The happier the artist the more links and traffic which equals $$ will happen. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!
What a coincidence "Pond" means "Teich" in german. So you can call him Pondman too :-) LOL

Congratulations Jason, I hope you do well in your new endeavor! The success of Pond5 is also the success of the artists that use it to license their media.

All the best!

Congratulation Jason,we could wish now as a contributor our sale will rise after your joining.

All the best.
