There, he supervised programming, distribution and audience development over more than 40 distribution partners. Leveraging its proprietary technology for remote HD capture, Rooftop Media delivered hundreds of original series for companies like Comedy Central, The Independent Film Channel and NBC as well as the major broadband portals and mobile carriers.

Through 2010 and 2011, Colin served as Senior Advisor to Richard Branson's Virgin Investments Group steering business development and analysis for prospective media investments in the emerging IPTV / OTT marketplace.
