When we first met Darren Feher, the early morning fog over Silicon Valley was dense and all the low corporate office buildings looked very similar in the gray mist. But the commuter traffic was already heavy, and it was clear that this part of the country is still thriving.
The Conviva offices are in a small "technology park." Their real distinction? They employ 26 PHD's.
The Conviva offices are decorated with trade posters for the company featuring the cast of Entourage, and lots of other well-known HBO stars. Now that media companies are putting more and more content online, they're realizing that the quality of their video streaming is as important as the quality of their content.
The spinning globe on the conference room screen indicates where in the world people are presently viewing online videos streamed using Conviva technology. Except in the middle of the ocean, it looks like people are watching video online pretty much everywhere, all the time.
Darren is actively engaged in all parts of the business, from the technology, to the development of new clients and new markets. As more and more people watch more content online, Conviva is finding new clients around the globe, eager to improve their online viewing experience.
