Frank Voci has spent his career building successful, breakthrough products and businesses as both a media executive and a consultant. He brings more than 16 years of experience in multi-platform product strategy, programming, marketing, brand launches, digital distribution, and product development to his clients. Frank has spearheaded the creation of some of the most influential media brands to launch online including CNET, IFILM, and E! Online.

Frank began his media career in print in 1991 as Senior Editor of Disney Adventures, the nation's largest-circulation magazine for kids. While there Voci conceptualized and launched the Walt Disney Company's first-ever online presence.

In 1993, Frank became a member of the team that launched CNET, the world leader in technology news, reviews, and downloads. During his tenure at CNET, Frank was instrumental in every facet of the company's explosive growth including the development of each of CNET's charter Internet properties and its television programming. Among them were CNET.com, News.com, Download.com, and joint ventures with Intel, E!, and NBC. As Vice President & Executive Producer, Frank was responsible for product development, network branding, and user experience across the company. Frank also helped develop and produced CNET's first television show CNET Central.

When Frank left CNET in 1999 he began his own consulting practice helping launch new media businesses like IWIN.com--a highly successful games site--and most notably IFILM--now part of Spike TV.

Frank was soon recruited to be a partner in 12 Entrepreneuring LLC, a new kind of venture capital company. Halsey Minor, founder of CNET and Eric Greenberg, founder of Scient and Viant, created "12" to conceive and build technology-related businesses.

In 2001 Frank returned to media as President of IFILM. There he oversaw the company's consumer business and his purview included programming, marketing, product development, technology and sales. Voci also developed and produced IFILM's theatrical and television ventures, expanding the brand through partnerships with AMC Theatres and IFC.

In 2003 Frank formed Voci Media Works to bring his accumulated expertise to a whole new set of forward-thinking companies.  Today, VMW develops digital media product strategy and leads product launches for companies across a variety of sectors and stages.  Voci's past clients include Citysearch, ABC News, ThisNext, Athlete's Performance, Fund.com, Comcast, Game Show Network, and more.

Frank Voci is the founder of White Knot, has served as Vice-Chair and Treasurer of the Board of Directors of Aids Project Los Angeles (APLA), and holds a degree in Human Biology from Stanford University.
