TiVo Taps Roz Ho to Lead Consumer and Metadata Teams

TiVo said Roz Ho has joined the company as senior vice president and general manager, consumer and metadata.

In that role, she will lead those teams and oversee the company’s strategic product roadmaps. Ho will be based out of  TiVo’s San Jose office and report to Pete Thompson, TiVo’s executive vice president and chief operating officer.

She joins TiVo after serving as head of product management for Ericsson TV and video products, including Mediaroom and MediaFirst.  Prior to that, Ho was with Microsoft, which sold its Mediaroom IPTV platform to Ericsson in 2013.
