The company has announced key leadership changes that are geared toward boosting its presence in the entertainment and sports sectors.
In a strategic move, counterTEN has appointed
Michael Gleeson as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Gleeson, with over two decades of experience in scaling high-growth technology companies, previously played an instrumental role as an early investor and advisor for counterTEN.

His responsibilities include strengthening collaborations with promoters, venues, sports rights holders, and brands, all while building a high-performing team oriented toward impactful results. Gleeson expressed his eagerness to lead counterTEN into new markets, stating, "I am fully committed to globalizing counterTEN and working closely with our clients to create deeper, data-driven connections with fans that yield a positive impact."
Alongside Gleeson’s appointment,
Steve Shulman, the founder of counterTEN, transitions to the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). This shift will allow Shulman to focus on scaling the platform’s core technologies, driving Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation, and shaping the long-term product vision. He remains actively involved in the company as a board member. Shulman noted, "Having the right leadership has been an absolute priority. With Mike now on board, I am excited to fully concentrate on scaling our AI infrastructure and driving innovation that expands the boundaries of fan interaction."
counterTEN is poised for a major market entry into the European live entertainment scene, particularly focusing on Latin music. Details regarding this upcoming launch, including a significant strategic partnership, will be unveiled in the coming months.
