Summary
Extensive knowledge of digital media industry: I have proven expertise in all types of digital media including video, sound, and text. The technical teams that I have led have built innovative search, distribution, and access systems. I have intimate knowledge of digital rights management systems and the legal issues involving digital content. Technical skills: I have five issued patents and one pending. I have designed systems for digital rights management and digital content identification, and solved numerous technical challenges to build very large-scale and reliable on-line applications. Engineering leadership: I have been managing large high-tech teams for over fifteen years. I hired, mentored, and retained key engineering talent during the highly competitive dot-com boom years. Business acumen: As Founder of ReplayTV and the first VP of Engineering at Napster and Infoseek, I have not only been responsible for building companies and technical teams from scratch, I have been involved in all aspects of financing, business strategy, and operations. I have managed the evaluation and implementation of both acquisitions and layoffs.
