Perry Weinstein
GM, North America
Accedo

Throughout his career, Perry has served in various business and product roles to provide solutions that enable digital media strategy for some of the world's largest entertainment companies. As VP and General Manager, North America, Accedo, a company widely regarded as the market leading developer of advanced multi-screen OTT services, Perry is helping Content Providers, Broadcasters and Operators deliver next-generation user experiences on every screen.

Previous to Accedo, Perry led the launch of multiple business units for two major entertainment technology vendors. As VP of Business Development for Thomson Technicolor, Perry helped the company launch an Anti-Piracy business unit. In this role, Perry worked with the MPAA and all the major studios to win approval of content protection and tracking technologies that are in wide use today. Civolution would eventually acquire the business unit from Thomson Technicolor.

Prior to that, Perry led the launch of Harris Corporation’s Digital Asset Management practice (HRS:NYSE). As both the Product and Business lead, Perry helped Broadcasters and Operators move from analog to digital workflows, then assisted them in extending those same workflow efficiencies into their global enterprises. Both of the business units Perry helped launch would eventually claim market-leading positions in their respective domains.

After successfully launching two business units, Perry swung for the fences by working for and launching several start-ups of his own. He founded Melinky, a "social consumption" music service that leveraged the cloud, viral processes and gamification before these concepts were part of the common vernacular. He also served as GM for Dreamer, a Korean tech start-up with a best-of-breed OTT platform that was eventually absorbed by SKT. More recently, he co-founded MOX, a 24/7 lean-back, online music television network. While at Mox, Perry signed content acquisition and production deals with more than 100 artists and produced over 150 premium videos (live performances, festival coverage and music videos) in the field, and from Mox’s own television studios in both Los Angeles and New York.

In addition to his work at Accedo, Perry currently serves as an Advisor to multiple companies in various phases of development.
