As part of this expansion, we’re thrilled to announce the addition to our team two trailblazers in the fields of tech and entertainment: blockchain sage Srinivas Nemani and indie film director Jeremy Culver.

Srinivas has a resume that reads like a laundry list of accomplishment after accomplishment. In his more than two decades working in information technology, Srini has worked as a lead architect at American Express, where he helped drive the growth of online users for the company’s digital channel from 200 million people to more than 550 million. He also led global engineering teams at GE, Cisco and Amazon, and he’s become something of a guru when it comes blockchain technology. (Actually, he is a tech guru, spending much of his spare time pondering — and then implementing — such things as blockchain solutions for halting video and music piracy.

Which is why we’re excited that Srini will take lead over at Vevue Labs, our hub for research and engineering breakthroughs in blockchain and other tech. Among other things, he’ll help:
