Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips, a leading global investment bank specializing in media, marketing, and technology, is pleased to announce that we have expanded our television and streaming M&A team, with the addition of Christy Tanner as a Senior Advisor. The team is led by Managing Director, Richard Glosser.
Previously, Christy launched and ran multiple businesses for CBS, including the pioneering streaming service CBSN, growing it to profitability in year one, quadrupling revenue in three years and taking the #6th ranked news brand to #1 in streaming. In addition, she led all aspects of the successful turnaround, sale and exit of PE-backed TV Guide Digital from Lionsgate and One Equity. Christy was also in senior digital leadership roles at The Washington Post and Wolters Kluwer. Christy currently operates Cete Partners, a business and digital transformation consultancy, that serves clients such as BBC, Univision, PBS, Altice, and Outside, plus international, and early-stage companies in media and technology.
In addition to Christy, ODP boasts coverage in its television and streaming sector with Senior Advisors, Erica Gruen, an Emmy Award-winning TV producer, advertising and television executive, digital media pioneer, and serial entrepreneur who was President/CEO of the Food Network, and Steve Rosenbaum. Steve was most recently Chief Executive Officer of Waywire Networks. Steve has been at the forefront of internet video from the outset, creating five companies in the space. He is widely acknowledged as the father of User Generated Content or UGC.
We have represented companies in the television, streaming, and entertainment categories, including with Network Media, Harbor Picture Company, Revolt TV and Broadway Box. We have also negotiated deals with Shazam, Publicis, Thomson Reuters, Jellysmack, and Key Brand Entertainment.
