Former Amazon Web Services and Nvidia Exec Will Develop Direct-to-Consumer Platform for Massively Interactive Live Events (MILEs)
Heinz was previously CTO of leading AI security firm ActZero.ai, and is currently a member of Ball Metaverse Research Partners, which co-manages the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF ($METV), the first exchange-traded fund investing entirely in Metaverse-related companies. He also served as head of enterprise cloud services at Nvidia Corporation, driving the company’s cloud-strategy for games, professional visualization, and artificial intelligence. Earlier in his career, Heinz helped conceive and oversee development of Amazon Web Service’s first generations of cloud GPU instances.
“Jerry has a one-of-a-kind skill set that combines decades of AI-driven security, cloud graphics and computing, and enterprise services and infrastructure,” said Jacob Navok, co-founder and CEO of Genvid Holdings. “His vision of how the internet will transform in the coming years maps directly to our vision of next-generation, cloud-based entertainment.”
“We’re building a world-class direct-to-consumer platform for MILEs, and Jerry’s expertise will be critical to its success,” said Andrew Schneider, Chief Marketing Officer and President of Genvid Entertainment. “We’ve proven the scalability, stability, and appeal of MILEs, and now with Jerry’s help we’ll further hone the direct-to-consumer publishing, marketing, and monetization systems required to fully establish MILEs as the next big category of interactive, cloud-based entertainment.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to join Genvid Entertainment and be part of the next digital media breakthrough: audience-driven, interactive experiences that are instantly and persistently accessible to consumers worldwide,” noted Heinz. “This is the type of shared experiential content that will drive a big part of next-gen, cloud-based entertainment.”
