Don Loeb
As Vice President of Partner Services overseeing Strategic Partnerships at FeedBurner, Don Loeb fosters relationships with the largest media companies in the world helping them to leverage the opportunities afforded by syndication. Previously, Don was director of business development for Yahoo!'s Network Products business unit where he helped drive the company's open content syndication and social media efforts. He has also held senior positions at YellowBrix, Inc. and iSyndicate, Inc. where he developed corporate strategy around syndication of audio/video content and assisted with corporate development initiatives and the sale of the company. Don heads up FeedBurner's branch office in San Francisco and, while based on the West Coast, he has often been spotted at opposite ends of the country and world - mysteriously - at the same time. Don received a B.A. degree in Applied Economics from the University of California - Berkeley.
