About David Beck

For two decades, Boards, CEOs and presidents of multibillion-dollar companies and the startups trying to upend them have trusted me to formulate and accelerate growth, innovation, and transformation initiatives capitalizing on technology disruptions in media, sports, marketing, and consumer businesses. I've been tapped to quickly solve the most pressing challenges, navigating between the plan, politics, and personalities to generate change and results. Whether architecting a restructuring & growth plan at WarnerMedia post AT&T acquisition, driving the launch of AMC Networks’ SVOD / AVOD services, accelerating the digital transformation of Univision, or driving the strategy and operational transformation of Brightcove, I have excelled at architecting and operationalizing plans and building teams that deliver.While I've been a Bain & Co. trained Chief Strategy Officer and investor, I also understand what it takes to launch a business and risk my own capital. I founded BRaVe Ventures and scaled it profitably into an advisory and investment firm that was acquired within two years. Prior to Brightcove, I served as Executive Vice President, Head of Programming Strategy & Business Operations at AMC Networks functionally serving as COO / CSO of the Entertainment group, focused on 1.) accelerating streaming business model transformation, and 2.) modernizing core operations across AMC, BBCA, Sundance TV, IFC, WE tv. I oversaw AMC’s linear / digital programming strategy, scheduling, acquisitions and media planning group, digital strategy, product and operations group, digital studio, and general management of BBCA, Sundance TV, and IFC.Prior to AMC, I served as Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy & Operations at WarnerMedia overseeing Corporate Strategy, Corporate Intelligence & Analytics, and Consumer Insights. I was promoted to this role after serving as Chief Strategy & Ventures Officer of TNT and TBS, where I was responsible for growth strategy and executing strategic investments, acquisitions, and partnerships.Prior to joining Turner, I co-founded BRaVe Ventures, a strategic advisory and investment firm serving brands such as Turner, Viacom, CBS, A+E, and Mattel. BRaVe also made seed investments in media/tech companies and provided accelerator/incubator services. In 2016, after working with BRaVe for years on a consulting basis, Turner acquired the company. Before BRaVe, I held senior roles at Univision within the Office of the CEO and as head of social media. I was also a member of Bain & Company’s media and private equity practices.
