Philip Inghelbrecht’s Experience

• Strategic Partner Development Manager

  YouTube (Google)

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; GOOG; Information Technology and Services industry)

  June 2005 — Present (3 years 2 months)

  I orginally joined Google in the Video group and have since then transfered to YouTube following the Fall 2006 acquisition. My responsibility primarily focuses on pursuing and negotiating the larger video content license agreements for Google and YouTube. My current focus is entertainment (TV and movie) and sports content.

• 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.
