I interviewed Vince Pizzica, President Corp Partnerships & Ventures Technicolor @GLAZED Conference. He’s a fellow Aussie expat. He spoke about Technicolor which is at the forefront of innovation & technology in media where artistry meets technology. They have worked with Hollywood for 100 years. They like to think & invest like a startup to be on the bleeding edge of innovation so ‘100 year old startup’. They are the leader in physical media & that will change. He spoke about living in the Bay area after Paris & Oz. He loves being able to speak about how you can walk into any café in the Bay area & talk about big ideas – nowhere else in the world!
