Mike Berkley, a former product leader at Spotify, Viacom and
Comcast, will join MoviePass Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of
Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (Nasdaq:HMNY), as Chief Product
Officer beginning this week. His breadth of experience ranges from
general management of new subscription businesses, to multiplatform
product strategy for major cable networks, to user experience and
technology development.
His role at MoviePass will be to lead the
product strategy and vision for the MoviePass™ service, as the
company continues its efforts to grow its subscriber base and
expand technology integrations with exhibitors and other partners.
Under Berkley’s guidance, the product and technology teams will
continue developing the MoviePass™ service, platform, and methods
for harnessing consumer behavior intelligence to create a more
deeply customized and valuable end-user experience.
Mike was most recently SVP of Product Management
at Viacom, responsible for new digital products, mobile apps,
video, monetization, data, and content management platforms used
globally by Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, Paramount
Pictures, and others.
"MoviePass is one of the most exciting companies
to emerge in the entertainment industry in recent years,” said Mike
Berkley, MoviePass’ new Chief Product Officer. “Just as
Netflix has ushered in a renaissance for TV, MoviePass is on the
path to do the same for theatrical movies."
“Mike is going to be an incredible asset to
MoviePass and we plan to make him an integral part of our long-term
innovation strategy,” said Mitch Lowe, CEO of MoviePass. “He has
the perfect array of skills to drive technological improvements in
our platform and to keep our product in sync with our business
goals.”
Prior to his time as a product management
executive at Viacom, Spotify, and Comcast, Berkley was the founder
and CEO of a social video start-up, SplashCast, and an e-learning
startup, QMIND, Inc. His extensive experience at both startups and
large entertainment companies make him a perfect fit for leading
MoviePass’ growing technology organization.
“We are putting together the A-Team for our core
technology, and this will be critical during the next phase of our
growth,” said Ted Farnsworth, CEO of HMNY. “Mike is the talent we
need to make sure MoviePass has the right toolset to help innovate
and grow the company.”
