CHRIS HOOD

Chris Hood is a digital strategist, podcaster, writer, and innovation executive at Google with over 35 years of experience in business development... In 2003 I joined the music industry with a small started called Ruckus Network (Ruckus.com). We produced a legal music service for college campuses during Napster's reign and the RIAA suing college students for music piracy. In 5 years, the company grew and was acquired by a joint venture between Universal Music Group and Sony Music called Total Music. During this venture, I was responsible for designing the first "cloud" based music player called TunePost - before there was a cloud.
