Steve Mitgang was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Veoh Networks in July 2007. A Silicon Valley and start-up veteran, Steve has 22 years of experience in general management, strategic planning, product management and business development for some for the country's best-known brands, as well as experience with enterprise software and Internet ASPs.

While there, Steve was the senior executive credited with creating the vision and managing the production of Project Panama (Yahoo's new monetization platform).

Dmitry Shapiro, Founder & CIO

Dmitry Shapiro founded Veoh Networks in late 2004 and now serves as the company’s Chief Innovation Officer. Dmitry started Veoh a very short to-do list: First, democratize. Open the business of television—once strictly a members-only deal—to a virtual community of broadcasters. Second, connect those broadcasters with new, global audiences, hungry for a limitless world of compelling programming to fill every niche interest, and desire.

Before he imagined Veoh, Dmitry built Akonix Systems, one of the leading P2P network security companies with over 1.5 million deployed enterprise licenses in companies such as Viacom, Disney, Newscorp, and Cingular. Before that, Dmitry led the technology groups at CollegeClub, a 4 million member online college community and Fujitsu Telecommunications.

During his youth in Atlanta, Dmitry learned English by watching lots of television, lost most of his Russian accent and gained a B.S. in electrical engineering degree from Georgia Tech.
