Rodric is a serial entrepreneur and Producer who has founded and successfully exited many companies in a variety of industries throughout his career. He has spent the past 15 years focusing on the convergence of technology and entertainment during the period when content distribution control and monetization was broadly fracturing and the Creator Economy was emerging.
