Jay Amato

Until founding PersonalScreen Media, Jay Amato had been President and CEO of NASDAQ traded Viewpoint Corporation, an interactive media company, providing cutting-edge online video and interactive rich media advertising for leading companies such as DreamWorks, Nextel, Polo, Pepsi, Toyota, MGM and Paramount. Jay was recruited to Viewpoint in August 2003 to engineer a turn-around and in that short period managed to introduce two major new product offerings, leading the company to growth and profitability for the first time in its fifteen-year history.

As President and COO of NYSE traded Vanstar Corporation, he led the company through dozens of acquisitions and rapid organic growth from a $25 million retail computer franchiser to a leading network integrator serving the corporate marketplace. The company grew to nearly $3 billion in revenues.

Following his tenure at Vanstar, Mr. Amato led the formation of the Technology Access Action Coalition/TAAC, a Washington-based congressional lobbying organization comprised of technology leaders including Microsoft whose mission was to promote continued innovation and growth within the technology sector.

With twenty-five years of outstanding business success to his credit, Jay Amato brings to PersonalScreen Media an innovative technology vision, relationships in media and technology and the experience necessary to ensure the company is competitive in the changing landscape of the entertainment industry.
