SAN DIEGO, CA, October 31, 2006 – Veoh Networks, the leading innovator in Internet television, announced today the appointment of Joshua Metzger as senior vice president of corporate development, a role in which he will lead technology and distribution partnerships. He will report to Dmitry Shapiro, Veoh’s CEO and founder.
“Josh’s strong background in business development, as well as his success in helping steer early-stage Internet businesses, brings important capabilities to Veoh as we invest in the future of Internet television,” said Shapiro. “We’re very pleased to have him join the management team.”
