That is the comparative level of impact Bill can make on our global business lines. The CuriosityStream team was strong and today it got infinitely stronger. Bill is a consummate dealmaker whose relationships around the world and track record building high performance teams and businesses lends CuriosityStream a tremendous competitive advantage in the dynamic and evolving media landscape. Our success depends on our ability to rapidly expand our businesses in multiple directions all over the world and I am thrilled that Bill has agreed to lead the charge.”
