Eight Cylinder Studios
Eight Cylinders Studios developed the Web's premier broadband-specific technology platform (at the time), delivering the highest-quality 3D sound, 3D animation, and 3D interactive content to the broadband market. The platform, known as the Eight Cylinder Engine(TM), combined the connectivity of the Internet with the sight, sound and emotion of television-style graphics. In 2001, Eight Cylinders Studios was acquired by On2 Technologies. In 2010, On2 was acquired by Google. I founded this company with two partners. My responsibilities included the development of the business model, including operational management, financial management, and execution of the company’s financing strategy. In less than 4 years, Eight Cylinder Studios grew to over $1 million in annual revenue with 20 employees.Additionally, I was tasked to recruit various senior level positions as well as stage a massive roll up from 25 – 100 employees. Specifically, I recruited the CTO, various senior level artists and engineers. This was accomplished in the late 1990’s while dot com expansion was at its peak,making it more competitive to secure top talent.By the time On2 acquired Eight Cylinders Studios, I had developed key relationships with Microsoft, Intel and Launch.com, a music-oriented Web publisher. ★ ★ ★ ★ For detailed list of accomplishments, please request my resume
