Joshua Bixby is an entrepreneur and business leader who served as CEO of Fastly, Inc. from February 2020 until September 2022. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Management and Business Economics from the University of Toronto. Before becoming CEO, Bixby held various roles at Fastly and was part of the executive team since December 2015. His experience includes positions at Radware, where he was Vice President of Acceleration, and he co-founded Strangeloop Networks, which focused on web application acceleration. Bixby is known for his strategic thinking in tech, and during his time at Fastly, the company faced significant challenges in the fast-changing tech landscape. In his final year as CEO, he earned around $9 million in total compensation, mostly through stock awards, reflecting the company’s stock performance. In 2020, Bixby navigated notable growth in Fastly's market position, capitalizing on trends like increased online activity due to the pandemic. An interesting fact is that he was also a founder of Stanley Park Ventures, which invests in early-stage tech startups. His tenure ended as part of a transition to new leadership, but he stayed on as an advisor to ensure a smooth handover.
