Leaders S1: E18 - Jason Briggs (RDK)

We're excited to bring on Jason Briggs, Executive Director of RDK, to the Leaders Series this week. David and Jason discuss the definition of RDK as a technology and how collaborative innovation is changing the worlds of telecoms, wifi, and broadcast. They also talk about the experience of leading an open-source community during COVID, building product in a careful incremental way with a focus on problem solving, and the importance of having the right talent for projects in order to ensure their success.

Not to mention our exciting announcement: GCS has officially joined the RDK Preferred Partner Program... making GCS the global RDK preferred resource partner!

Jason oversees core strategic, operating, marketing and product activities for RDK Management. Founded originally as a collaborative effort between leading communications service providers, RDK Management runs the RDK as an open-source consortium of over 430 companies who use the RDK for Video Devices (such as Set Top Boxes, OTT streaming) and Broadband Gateways (such as DOCSIS and GPON). Under Jason’s leadership, it has become one of the most successful open-source software projects with deployments in over 60 Million devices by operators around the world.
