“Chris is a great fit for Beachfront because he understands the digital video advertising needs of premium publishers and tier one brands, while remaining mindful of the importance of keeping the viewing experience pristine for consumers,” said Sinton. “It’s a humbling experience to speak with Chris about where the market is going and strategize ways Beachfront can address industry pain points into the future -- because he possesses experience and know-how few have. He walks a perfect line between industry visionary and grounded business operator.”
