2 More Speakers Confirmed for Twiistup to Speak on The Future of Online Video
Dmitry Shapiro founder and CEO of Veoh – Dmitry started Veoh with a very short to-do list: First, democratize. Open the business of television-once strictly a members-only deal-to a virtual community of broadcasters. Second, connect those broadcasters with new, global audiences, hungry for a limitless world of compelling programming to fill every niche interest, and desire. Before he imagined Veoh, Dmitry built Akonix Systems, one of the leading P2P network security companies with over 1.5 million deployed enterprise licenses in companies such as Viacom, Disney, Newscorp, and Cingular. Before that, Dmitry led the technology groups at CollegeClub, a 4 million member online college community and Fujitsu Telecommunications.
