The Content & Entertainment Team is a specialized team of subject matter experts (SME’s) whose goal is to provide compelling data center and peering solutions for Web 2.0, digital distribution, streaming services, cloud services, online gaming, and other online services.
Prior to Switch and Data, Ken was a member of the Media & Entertainment Team at Hewlett-Packard and was responsible for the West Coast region providing server and storage solutions to online service providers such as Activision Blizzard, Lucasfilm, Valve, and others. Prior to the Media & Entertainment Team, Ken was a member of the Web 2.0 Team at Hewlett-Packard providing monetization strategies and printing technologies to online service providers such as Facebook, ESPN Digital, The Home Depot, and others.
Prior to HP, Ken was the Co-Founder of BizExpense.com, an enterprise software company that provided a private-label web-based expense report automation solution using a debit card. This online service enabled SMB companies to use a debit card instead of a credit card, which they often could not obtain, and use automation technologies to become more efficient. Unfortunately, BizExpense was a casualty of the dot-com bubble and closed it doors in 2003. But, this was a valuable 5-year education above and beyond my Master’s degree.
Ken earned his MBA from Pepperdine University and a BS in Marketing from San Jose State University.
