Counsel Concerns
Virtual reality media company Jaunt Inc. has hired Matthew Zinn as its first general counsel and corporate secretary. Zinn previously worked for TiVo as its general counsel, senior vice-president, chief privacy officer and corporate secretary. TiVo was acquired by Rovi Corp. in September 2016. (Rovi changed its name to TiVo.) Zinn said he helped with the Rovi transition through January of this year. He then took a few months off before deciding to join Jaunt VR. Jaunt has produced VR content including a 360-degree view of a Paul McCartney concert, a VR short with Danny DeVito and the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast, and VR commercials for brands like Google, Mattel and Budweiser. Its investors include media giants like The Walt Disney Co., Google Ventures, Axel Springer and The Madison Square Co., among others.
George Kliavkoff, Jaunt president and CEO, said in a statement that Zinn “brings a wealth of experience to Jaunt, not only in the legal realm, but from a business perspective as well. His extensive experience with both established and emerging media companies is a perfect match for Jaunt, as we continue to witness the rapid growth of VR and the related evolving mediums.”
