A New Chief

We’re psyched to announce that Josh Guttman has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Sphere.

Josh joined us in November of 2007. His primary focus was on helping Sphere accelerate its Publisher footprint. He excelled in that role, quickly becoming a leading contributor to our extensive network of A-list partners.  Also, we asked him to lead our expansion within AOL – he has done an exceptional job guiding our efforts.

Above all, it’s his proactive leadership that has made the most important impact on Sphere. without being asked, he has taken on a leadership role on Product Development, Design and Advertising Management. Each of these areas have been strengthened significantly under his leadership.

Thus, the entire Sphere team is thrilled to see his contributions, his role and responsibility at Sphere recognized. Congrats Josh!

Bon Anniversaire Tony!

Happy birthday TC!    Today is our co-founder and CEO, Tony Conrad’s, birthday.  As we all know, March 3 is a historic date.  On March 3, 1875, Georges Bizet’s opera “Carmen” premiered in Paris. On March 3, 1900, U.S. Steel Corporation organized. In 1974 on March 3, George Foreman KO’d Ken Norton. And in 1966, Buffalo Springfield formed.  None of this is surprising to us at Sphere given that Tony is a highly cultured patron of the arts, savvy business professional, an unrelenting fighter and a more than occasional rocker.  Happy Birthday Tony!!
