OCT. 21 | FROM MCN: Studio-backed Internet-to-TV startup ZillionTV has named former Dotcast chief financial officer Jack Lawrence its CEO, replacing Mitch Berman, who will remain with the company as executive chairman.
News of the appointment of Lawrence -- most recently chief operating officer of Corgi International, a manufacturer of toys and movie prop replicas -- was posted on XYHD.tv by former ZillionTV employee Brandon Wirtz.
Before joining Corgi in 2007, Lawrence was CFO of games company Cranium and of Dotcast, the company that supplied underlying datacasting technology for Disney's now-defunct MovieBeam service.
The CEO switch comes shortly after ZillionTV reportedly laid off one-third of its employees.
