Chief Marketing and Programming Officer for CVN.tv
I was part of the founding team and the Chief Marketing/Programming Officer (CMPO) of a startup online television broadcast and social media network at CycleVision Network (CVN.TV).
CVN was designed as the first fully interactive Internet and mobile entertainment platform dedicated entirely to the motorcycling world. We were supported by global media partners, promoters, and motorcycle industry leaders looking for the perfect way to engage and support the global rider community.
I worked closely with Limelight Networks and Gigya social media platform, in building the interactive television and social media site. My other responsibilities consisted of: populating the site with acquired programming, acquiring cinema releases, acquiring content from Dorna global partners, and testing the site's social networking turnkey system (Gigya). I was responsible for the original programming development pipeline, transferring data, and marketing of the channel.
