"I am the CEO and founder of Ikon Associates, a digital video strategic consulting company. I serve as Sales director at Labgency, a VOD premium platform provider. After my Master of Science, my career foundation started in Thomson Thales research lab, I joined Cadence in 1999, the leading provider of EDA and semi-conductor IP in San Jose, San Francisco Bay Area, in the early days of color screen and video-enabled embedded architecture. I then joined Packet Video, a San Diego based company in the heyday of multimillions start-ups (120Mi$ total founding’s). I pioneered the streaming video. | | | Laurence Fornari EMBA Telecom Ecole de Management Promotion 2014-2016 | | | | | After 10 years pushing innovation technology from US to Europe, I opened the European headquarter of a Canadian freshly financed company Bluestreak, a rich media engine and platform provider. In 2010 I co-funded Ikon and Labgency.
In the EMBA, I am involved in a team project looking for financing with the goal to bring an emerging company to the viable commercial stage and expand internationally. This project is about to go out and seek financing in 2016. This EMBA program is well targeted to: Take a step back, get some fresh air and look at the overall picture, Network and meet people and expertise outside of one’s specific sector / function, Go back to basics, strong theory and new skill set such as finance and marketing, meet entrepreneurs, start-upers and intrapreneurs in large corporations, learn again and again the value of team building and networking. The fundamental reason for my choice to enroll in this Executive MBA was the desire to
diversify my horizon and skill set, open up.
