Who is Anthony Batt?

A music enthusiast, Anthony Batt knew exactly what he wanted to do

the moment he was exposed to the Internet. Combining his

entrepreneurial spirit with his passion for content and technology,

Batt has created a successful career building and designing web and

digital media products.

Prior to Buzznet, Batt served as Chief Technology Officer for Metapa

(now Greenplum), where he raised $17 million in financing and helped

develop the company's proprietary software product.

On the publishing front, Batt worked for Time Inc. as the Manager of

Internet Publishing, where he was responsible for the day-to-day

publishing of Fortune.com, Time.com, People.com, Teenpeople.com, Money.com

and ET.com. He was also instrumental in the development and launch of

his friend Craig Newmark's site, Craigslist, helping to take it from

its original format – an email list to acquaintances – to an online

destination that has since become a global leader.

Batt's career has taken him overseas to Hong Kong and Malaysia where

he served as President of Technology and Products for the web

development and design company AsiaConnect, and also launched the

National Newspaper Radio and Television of Malaysia. In addition, he

has done creative and technical consulting work for companies such as

Absolut Vodka, TBWA Chiat Day and Amp'dMobile.
