Client Testimonials
“I had the pleasure of working with Mark Hayes at Macromedia, and again several years later at Brightcove. Mark is a strong sales executive with a deep background in OEM sales. We worked together successfully in winning and negotiating multiple complex OEMs deals with significant revenue. He is able to think strategically as well as execute efficiently as a sales executive. I’d be happy to work with Mark again, should the opportunity arise.”
- David Mendels, President and COO, Brightcove
former EVP of Product, Macromedia
“Mark’s enthusiasm and dedication to his profession is infectious. His expertise in building strategic alliances and channel sales organizations is unmatched. The work he did for Highwinds created real, long-term value for the Company. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Mark again in the near future.”
- Steve Miller, CEO, Highwinds Network Group
“Throughout his career Mark has been known as someone who has a great ability to view revenue generation from outside the traditional box. He has always been very strong in the subject matter of his industry and can contribute valuable insights to any organization. When I met Mark almost 10 years ago he was a major contributor at Macromedia working with our company, VitalStream to put together a ground breaking deal between the two companies. After Mark left Macromedia and started ChannelArchitects we went to him to help us grow our strategic partnerships and channel partner organization at VitalStream. Mark was an integral part of our rapid growth and success. I would strongly recommend Mark to any organization.”
Michael Linos, EVP Sales and Marketing, VitalStream
“I’ve done business with Mark while he was at Highwinds and at ChannelArchitects. I value his knowledge in the CDN space and he is a trusted source we look too when we have any sort of strategic engagement or marketing activity. He is always proactive in his work and follows through to make the project work on time and on budget. We will definitely look to engage Mark in the future and we give him our highest endorsement.” April 22, 2010

Back in 2002 Seac Banche USA partnered with ChannelArchitects to help us, an Italian company, to enter the US market. Mark Hayes worked closely with us to help building a strategic plan, a marketing and sales plan as well as a financial model. We also consulted with him on other aspects, such as logistics and hiring staff.
As the CEO of Seac Banche USA at that time, I was very content with the work Mark did for us. I would work with Mark again if and when the opportunity presents itself, as his experience and network were of great importance for our successful start in the US market.
Heiko Oberman, CEO, Seac Banche USA
