Jason Flick is the founder and former CEO of You.i TV, which he grew into a global platform for TV and streaming apps before selling it to HBO/AT&T (WarnerMedia) in 2020. Over thirty years he has started several companies, including N-able Technologies and Flick Software, and is now Executive Chairman of Northern Forge Studios and Sleep Efficiency.

Away from the boardroom he builds AI and robotics experiments, writes about physics, and travels anywhere that stretches him — the Rockies most often.
