GM of Yahoo Streaming
GM of Yahoo Streaming
Yahoo will embark on an entrepreneurial effort to imagine how a new, dedicated video experience will exist on and across Yahoo. Today, over 100 hours of original video are produced, streamed and delivered each week across Yahoo’s various properties (including Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News, and more). Additionally, Yahoo has access to thousands of clips, shows, and assets through our various partners and partner networks. This new experience combines the cross-Yahoo content with partner content, new content opportunities, and newly imagined features and tools.
