Anastas brings more than 20 years of marketing, digital, and data-driven expertise to TEN. His experience has included both significant brand marketing and agency roles, across video gaming, technology, content marketing, and automotive as well as other categories. Anastas joined TEN from Roku, where he was Global Head of User Acquisition, Media, Web & CRM. Anastas helped the company exceed nine million monthly active streamers for the first time in December of 2015, and led marketing efforts for the successful launch of Roku 4.

Before moving into a brand marketing career, Anastas spent many years in the advertising agency business, most recently as President of Tribal Worldwide’s Red Urban division, where he oversaw U.S. launch offices in New York and Dallas.
