Tim Mitchell

Tim is a twelve-year veteran in the ongoing convergence of technology and digital media.

He went on to hold lead product management and director roles at Lycos, Terra, and CNET, where he focused on digital music, streaming video, and media software. After building his chops at larger media companies, Tim waded into the start-up world, where he held multiple executive roles at IODA, a leading digital distribution and marketing company for independent record labels. He’s been quoted in Red Herring, Billboard, Digital Music News, Wired.com, and Villagevoice.com; and he has spoken on panels at NARM, Winter Music Conference, CMJ, Digital Hollywood, and more. Tim graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a BA in Economics. Outside of the office, Tim spends most of his time on his bike or on stage with his band.
