Todd Krieger’s Summary
I have been living at the intersection of media, technology and distribution for the last 15 years. From being early to exploit the international TV market to being one of the pioneers that brought blue-chip companies onto the Web for the first time, to trying to get Microsoft entrenched in broadcast and cable, I've continually discovered "the new" generating new customers and financial gains for my employers.
(And of course, in my spare time, I still like to find cool shit - be it music, film, bars or technology - and get the word out via the blogosphere or more traditional saber-rattling vehicles like the New York Times.)
