When Gillian Munson pictures a Vimeo customer, she doesn’t start with a filmmaker, she imagines an insurance company or a corner grocery store owner uploading a training clip  into Vimeo’s ever thirsty player, and hitting publish without ever surrendering control—or ad space—to a third‑party network. That simple embed workflow, she tells us, explains why “eight of the ten largest healthcare companies” and a widening roster of retailers, insurers and media giants now trust Vimeo to keep their footage private.

Munson’s goal, stated plainly, is to build “the most trusted private video platform in the world.” The former Wall Street analyst has translated that ambition into a product that shuns advertising and prizes user autonomy. “We don’t sell ads,” she says, positioning Vimeo as the secure opposite of open video marketplaces.
