MediaPlatform Revenue, Valuation & Funding (2021)

Mike Newman

CEO

Seasoned executive that developed a company from the idea phase to a profitable, high growth software company. For nearly ten years, I was responsible for shaping Accordent's strategic vision, running internal operations, and contributing to sales and business development. In 2011, Accordent was acquired by Polycom, Inc.; the transaction was recognized by LAVA as the "Most Capital Efficient Exit" of 2011. Post acquisition, I became VP/GM of Polycom's Video Content Management division, which drove the Company's streaming, media management, and digital recording strategies. Since leaving Polycom in November, 2014, I have been providing business advisory support to several exciting technology companies in the Los Angeles technology community. Prior to starting my career in technology, I worked at a leading law firm with an exceptional group of attorneys that helped me shape the analytical skills, judgment, and attention to detail I've relied on so heavily in my post-law career.
