Brett Goldberg’s Summary
I'm an entrepreneur and business professional who has been helping grow the digital media and Internet landscape for the past eight years.
I launched Cdigix in late 2000, a leader in the digital media space within the college marketplace. I wore all hats at Cdigix including head of marketing, sales, business development, programming and President, prior to our hiring of Larry Jacobson in 2005. We were originally based in Denver and the business is now run from Seattle.
Prior to Cdigix, I had valuable marketing, consulting and business development experiences at Best Practices, LLC and Total Sports in North Carolina, where I attended school at Duke University.
I joined Level (3) Communications in late 2007 as a Director in the recently formed Content Markets Group (CMG.) The CMG unit is focused on building value-add services on top of the expansive Level (3) fiber optic network and I'm currently involved in the construction of applications services and CDN products for the group.
