Philip Inghelbrecht’s Experience

• President

  TrueCar

  (Privately Held; Automotive industry)

  October 2008 — Present (10 months)

  Truecar aggregates an enormous amount of data to show what other people really paid for their new car. TrueCar (www.truecar.com) is a fresh voice in new car pricing, brining truth and transparency to automotive retail.

• Head of Sports and Entertainment partnerships

  YouTube (Google)

  (Public Company; GOOG; Internet industry)

  June 2005 — October 2008 (3 years 5 months)

  I joined Google in the Video group and immediately transfered to YouTube following the Fall 2006 acquisition. I initially lead the sports and entertainment vertical (e.g. Discovery, NBA, etc.) and subsequently syndication and copyright management.

• Director EMEA

  Ordinate Corporation

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

  July 2004 — June 2005 (1 year)

  Ordinate has a breakthrough speech recognition technology to automatically assess spoken proficiency in a foreign language and reading fluency. I was responsible to initiate, negotiate and close licensing deals (both pure technology and ASP-type) in Europe and the Middle-East. The company was acquired by Harcourt Assessment in October 2004.

• Founder and Business Director

  Shazam Entertainment

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

  January 2000 — June 2004 (4 years 6 months)

  Shazam (http://www.shazam.com) is a VC funded company that specializes in audio recognition. The company’s best-known commercial application is a wireless consumer service that allows people to identify music over the cell phone, simply by dialing 2580 from the handset.
  
  I co-founded Shazam in December 1999 and was involved in all aspects of starting and building a company: from writing and filing patents, raising capital (US$ 20 million) to hiring the first employee. My initial key responsibilities included the build-out and maintenance of a large database of music (exceeding 2MM tracks). I subsequently worked with the engineering team to shrinkwrap the core technology and license it to businesses worldwide (predominantly in the broadcast monitoring industry). This ultimately lead to a trade-sale of Shazam to BMI, Inc.
