What drew you from the agency side to a media company?

I actually have an engineering and a technical background, and I spent the beginning part of my career coding and programming robots on factory floors. So technology has always been in my DNA, and I still had that yearning to get back into the technology business.

So in some ways going to the technology side of a media company is a return to your roots.
