My name is <b>David Eckoff</b> and I specialize in developing and launching game-changing online consumer media businesses. My goal is to develop consumer products that are important to the daily lives of millions of people.

I&#39;ve defined go-to-market strategies and led teams in companies ranging from startup to Fortune 500. My passion is bringing innovative ideas from the drawing board to market, then growing those businesses.

I am currently <strong>co-founder of Spitter, Inc.</strong> an early stage company dedicated to aggregating the explosion of news and discussion on the web and filtering and organizing that content by niche topics of interest to passionate fans. 

I&#39;m also an <strong>advisor to media &amp; technology companies</strong>, helping companies take revolutionary ideas from the drawing board to market. I&#39;ve advised companies included Kleiner Perkins backed Zazzle.com, live interactive broadcasting platform Ustream.TV, 3D Virtual World innovator Kaneva, and more. 

Additionally, I actively volunteer in the <strong>Virginia-Highland</strong> neighborhood of Atlanta, developing online platforms that connect and inform the community. We recently successfully launched VHAlerts, the Virginia-Highland &#34;emergency broadcast system&#34;, for residents to receive urgent safety alerts via text message to their mobile phones. 

Previously, I served as Vice President, New Product Development &amp; Innovation at Turner Broadcasting (CNN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network); Senior Director at RealNetworks; Senior Vice-President at Rivals.com; and Founder of Inside Carolina. 

I hold an MBA from the University of North Carolina and a bachelors degree in accounting from University of Massachusetts.
