Summary
Robert Z is a growth and product leader with 17 years of experience launching and scaling live-streaming, short-form video, and social ecosystems across EMEA, LATAM, and South Asia. As Head of TikTok Live for France, Italy and Spain he built the 0→1 market entry playbook, architected creator-centric economies, and established data-driven governance and AI-ready systems that materially improved retention and monetization. Previously he led global operations and expansion at BIGO, designing repeatable operational playbooks, localized virtual economies, and regulatory frameworks for high-sensitivity markets.
