Our New Business/Ops Hires: Ted Rupp and Ryan Bowermaster

We’re growing fast, and have recently brought on a business development director, and an ad operations manager for ContentNext Media (that’s the name of our company)…both of them are based in our Santa Monica office.

Ted Rupp joins ContentNext as Director, Business Development. A long-time reader of our sites, Ted has spent most of his career in the music and digital media businesses, including roles at an indie record label, as an artist manager, and internet strategist. In 2004, he earned his MBA from the University of Colorado, Boulder, the best-skiing graduate program in the country (he says with a wink). Contact him at: trupp AT contentnext DOT com.

Ryan Bowermaster joins the ContentNext team as Ad Operations Manager, after relocating to LA from NYC. Bringing over 10 years expertise in both online and “bricks-and-mortar” markets, his experience runs the entire spectrum, from independent record label owner and touring musician, to building & managing technical client service/operations teams for start-ups such as Clickthings, Kozmo.com & Wireless Generation to overseeing partner operations for Vibrant Media in NYC. Ryan is also heavily involved in the Electronic Music scene as both an artist and producer/engineer, so when he’s not here at work making sure that our Ad Operations are running smoothly, you can catch him at his shows. Contact him at: rbowermaster AT contentnext DOT com

P.S.: If you want to see our small office in action, see this short video Kara Swisher did on a recent visit here.

Meanwhile, over at ContentSutra, our India site, Anupama Chandrasekaran has joined us as a senior contributing journalist…she’s an ex-Reuters journalist from NYC, who moved back to Chennai, India a few months ago. More on her here.
