A pioneer of online video, Williams has 20 years of proven success in both predicting and capitalizing upon marketplace holes that have dictated the future of media and entertainment. Most recently, he served as the chief audience officer of Maker Studios, and prior to that, he was the founder and CEO of venture-backed startup Take180. Both companies were acquired by The Walt Disney Company, where Williams also launched Disney Online Originals, a division dedicated to the creation of Disney-branded short-form content.<\/p>\n
