Chief Business Officer
As the person overseeing content, sales, marketing and operations for YouTube, Kyncl is a major architect of change in the media industry. He’s been key to the Google-owned video site’s continued investment in original content, including such shows as “Karate Kid” update “Cobra Kai,” movie spinoff “Step Up: High Water” and a new effort toward interactive originals on the service as well as more mainstream celebrity-driven and creator-based reality fare. In recent months, YouTube moved away from putting these shows behind a paywall and instead embraced ad-supported viewing as part of its new Single Slate strategy, which combines ad-supported and subscription VOD programming initiatives. In 2017, Kyncl published “Streampunks: YouTube and the Rebels Remaking Media,” a look at entertainment in the mobile age.
