He served as the primary point of contact, internally and externally, on all global TV business and marketing initiatives for several content providers. Always focused on the customer experience, Ken also worked with multi-functional teams to identify KPIs that impact customer engagement and business performance, helping to define UI/UX improvements for improved and sustained growth.

In 2013/14, Ken defined, developed, executed, and championed Microsoft’s second-screen initiative. He worked to successfully drive performance of the product life cycle, and on-going product rhythms, including oversight of internal and external partnerships to meet both strategic and business objectives. Prior to joining Microsoft, Ken was the Senior Director of Digital Distribution for Nickelodeon. He worked with senior management and various partners to develop goals, strategies, and execution plans for the non-linear distribution and monetization of Nickelodeon branded properties. For the U.S. operations, he successfully developed multi-million dollar premium video distribution businesses across online, wireless/mobile, and emerging platforms.

Before Nickelodeon, Ken was with Sony Music Entertainment, where he worked as the Director of Format Development and Strategic Planning. While with Sony Music, he co-led a group to define, launch and market new music and video physical formats at industry and corporate levels.
