Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Brown is a growth-focused media and ad-tech executive with nearly two decades of experience architecting scalable content, product, and revenue strategies—most recently serving as Chief Revenue Officer at Noisy Creek after a long tenure building Prime Video’s advertising and content businesses at Amazon. He combines sharp commercial instincts with technical product leadership, having launched Prime Video in 2011 (closing 19 of the first 21 deals), led ad-supported product rollouts across 10+ locales, and grown monetization teams from dozens to hundreds worldwide. Comfortable operating at both C-suite strategy and hands-on execution levels, he builds operating principles, prioritization frameworks, and repeatable roadmaps that endure through reorganizations and market shifts. A collaborative negotiator, he has closed exclusive content partnerships (e.g., Downton Abbey, early A24 output) by leveraging long-term industry relationships and personal credibility. Outside of enterprise work, he contributes to open-source developer tooling as a backend contributor to well-known community projects like the Python Discord bot, reflecting a pragmatic coder’s curiosity. Based in Seattle and shaped by community and collegiate sport roots, he’s actively pursuing board and local engagement in independent film, collegiate sports, and environmental initiatives.
