Telstra has invested $35 million in US-based IPTV video company Ooyala, in a move that will see Telstra integrate Ooyala’s technology into its IPTV platform. Telstra will fund Ooyala through its Applications and Ventures Group, headed up by Deena Schiff. In addition to Telstra being a major investor, Ooyala also announced that the two companies are working on a commercial agreement that will see Telstra deploy Ooyala’s software and analytics into its IPTV platform, T-Box.

Overview

I provide technical solutions for the media industry. I work as a consultant, helping clients use new media to solve problems and generate results. I’ve worked in the online industry for 14 years. I gained the most business experience as stakeholder of two internet start ups (www.surf.co.nz,  www.safetyplanner.com)

Other Ventures
In 1998 I partnered up with Peter Morse and Keith Redman to develop surf.co.nz, Australasia’s most popular surf report and surfcam site.
As shareholder and technical developer Surf.co.nz took up much of my spare time up until 2003
when the site was sold to Lloyd Morrison’s company Infratril.
