About Bambi
Bio
I am co-founder and CEO of Vator.tv.
Vator was a side project of mine that was a mere concept with four video pitches in my Webmail box in June 2006, while I was a columnist/correspondent at Dow Jones MarketWatch.
I left in April 2007 and launched Vatortv in June 2007.
At Dow Jones, I covered Internet trends and investments across the public and private sectors. I was a morning business anchor for KPIX (the local CBS affiliate in San Francisco), and reported on MarketWatch's business magazine show on CBS. In the 'mid-90s, I worked as producer at CNN's financial news network, where I created, launched and produced business shows, including one on IPOs and new ideas.
I am married to Ezra Roizen. We have three children.

I do agree that some entrepreneurs are in the catbird seat. I look forward to seeing your new platform to support this new paradigm you foresee.

I think it takes time to change an industry. That was the reason behind the comment regarding nothing will change much in five years.

Thanks, Lorenzo. Charles was able to provide some good perspective on this topic.

Jeff: You're right. I know some executives who've taken "improv" classes so they could improve their delivery.
