PeopleJam Executive Developing Partners in Networking

0

Jonathan Schreiber built a remote control car when he was 10 years old and his first computer when he was 14. He’s now 33 and has taken a new job as vice president of business development at PeopleJam, a Los Angeles-based online social networking and video company similar to MySpace.


Schreiber is responsible for partnerships involving content and wireless technology, as well as syndication and distribution.


“My goal is through technology to make PeopleJam a company that is easy to work with,” he said. “That means understanding platforms and how PeopleJam can utilize technology to create a way for the company to spend less energy on every opportunity.”


It was more luck than anything else that marked Schreiber’s arrival in the technology industry. When a friend asked for his help at a consulting company’s sales department, Schreiber figured that he needed to know the technology side of the business to be competent in sales. The Palm Pilot came out just a few months later, and it showed him how fertile the sector was going to become.


“I was really surprised by both the opportunity it brought as well as the problems that every new device or technology brought to the corporate world,” he said.


After that first stab at technology, Schreiber worked on sales management for a technology consulting business, and in 1998, he launched Infinite Mobility, a wireless application service company specializing in sports and entertainment. He also helped start Farmclub.com, a streaming music service, for Universal Music Group and MobileStorm.com, a messaging company. Most recently, he spent four years as chief executive of Xingtone, a mobile software and service company.


What keeps him passionate about technology is that the constant change.


“I love the challenge of having to process an enormous amount of data on a daily basis to ensure that the best decisions are being made,” he said.


Schreiber lives in Beverly Hills with his fianc & #233;; they’ll be going to Israel for their wedding in December. During his free time, he has been planning his wedding.
