New role for Chad

Exciting things are ahead as he takes on a new role at Yahoo!

    Currently sat in a presentation by Erik Huggers at mipTV – very informative and a fantastic overview of what FM&T is currently doing. In fact, I’m learning stuff about our business that I didn’t even know we were exploring…. perhaps we should make this available internally? In my haste to get this post up yesterday…

  1. Alas, Matt, no pool. . . .

    However, I will hide you in the basement and bring you the occasional hoppy California pale ale in exchange for occasional housesitting. 😉

    Good seeing you on your last visit!
