At NAB 2026, the Grass Valley Forum brought together leaders from across media, broadcasting, and technology to discuss the future of storytelling, digital transformation, and workflow innovation. Conversations with Louis Hernandez Jr., Jon Wilson, and Tracey Shaw focused on how the industry is evolving toward more connected, efficient, and cloud-driven production environments.
Louis Hernandez Jr., Founder and CEO of Black Dragon Capital, shared insights on leadership, innovation, and building companies through operational expertise rather than traditional investment strategies. Drawing from experience leading companies like Avid and Grass Valley, he emphasized the importance of adaptability, discipline, and creating opportunities through education and mentorship initiatives.
Grass Valley CEO Jon Wilson highlighted the industry’s push toward unified workflows that bring together traditional broadcast and streaming operations. As media companies compete with digital-first platforms, Grass Valley continues focusing on interoperability, efficiency, and simplified technology stacks designed to help organizations scale production while reducing operational complexity.
Tracey Shaw, Co-Founder of Digital Joy, discussed how cloud-based newsroom tools and AI-assisted workflows are reshaping content creation across broadcast, enterprise, education, and government sectors. Built on Grass Valley’s AMPP platform, Digital Joy’s workflow solutions are designed to simplify multi-platform content distribution while making advanced production tools more accessible to a wider range of users.
