Ustream Goes Hollywood With New Office And Hires
The other new hires include Wayne Sieve, Ustream’s new VP of Sports, who was formerly head of business development at Yahoo Sports. They’ve also hired Jeff Varnell as executive director of business development (he was formerly an executive director of business development at MySpace).
Ustream has had a relationship with Hollywood for a while now — it’s streamed movie premieres, the Golden Globes, and a number of major concerts. But there’s still plenty of room for growth in live online video — the new office will make it easier for Ustream to work with (and hold the hands of) Hollywood execs as they start exploring what they can do with the format.
Ustream’s other offices include its headquarters in San Franicisco, and satellites in Budapest and Dallas.
