Acast moves Stacey Goers into the role of Senior Manager, Product, to focus on the company's podcast subscription offerings. Goers, who joined Acast as Product Manager a year ago, will oversee the podcast membership offering Acast+ -- as well as Acast's product line for customers who want to add podcast content to their existing memberships. Before moving to Acast, Goers spent nearly five years in similar roles at NPR.

Jessica Baban has also been hired as Senior Manager within Acast's Product Design team. Baban joins from Swedish medtech company Kry/Livi, and has more than a decade's experience in product design roles for companies including H&M and Spotify. At Acast, Baban will focus on designing products that help podcasters find their valuable audience and make more money from their craft.

Acast Senior Director of Product Christian Milz said, "Stacey and Jess will help take our products to new heights, ensuring every podcaster on Acast is able to find their most valuable audience, at scale, and make more money. Their roles will be crucial in helping podcasters to accelerate both listenership and revenue growth.

He added, "Stacey's team will be fully focused on helping creators get started and make the most of Acast+ and other membership offerings, while Jess and her team of product designers will play a vital role in truly understanding the overarching podcasters' needs - and which solutions will help address them."
