Brian is a senior Internet executive who has worked in multiple startup environments. He oversees VideoEgg’s Publisher Network and Ad Operations groups. Before joining the world of online advertising, Brian was the CEO of WineAccess, a specialized, profitable e-commerce business which he developed into a top sales channel for small wine producers.

Prior to that, Brian spent five years with Amazon.com. Joining in 1997, Brian held early roles in business and product development, ultimately serving as General Manager of Amazon’s software and video games stores. In 2003 he initiated a two year stint outside the private sector, first as a consultant to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and then as the Deputy Campaign Manager for Christine Gregoire’s successful 2004 Washington State gubernatorial campaign – a widely-publicized race that ranks among the closest statewide elections in U.S. history.

Brian graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Politics from Princeton University and has an MBA from Harvard Business School.
