Bogoch, Sam

Cofounder and CEO of Axle AI - Our software combines the power of AI and machine learning to MAM, either on premise or the cloud. We launched 10 years ago at NAB, and now have a full-time team of 25 people and over 1,000 customers worldwide. We've recently built out two major companion products: Connectr, a cross-platform video workflow automator, and Axledit, a collaborative editing platform.

I also advise a number of tech startups and am co-chair of the Boston chapter of the Harvard Alumni Entrepreneurs' Association.

Specialties: Media asset management and server architectures, customer interactions, third-party partner relationships, marketing and channel development. Forward-looking view of the media consumption and production landscapes.

Skills include - experienced executive in media applications and platform technologies; deep system integration background in large-scale media asset management and storage systems based on Linux and Microsoft technology suites; building startups and turnarounds which are able to attain significant revenue growth with modest capital infusions; managing development teams of 2-100 people. Equally comfortable in the corporate and startup worlds. Significant experience working closely with enterprise customers, as well as investors and management stakeholders. I enjoy (and help foster) high-growth environments.
