Randy Marcinko named Groxis CEO
Content and technology industry veteran Randy Marcinko has been named CEO of Groxis, publisher of the Grokker data visualization application.
Randy will also retain his role as CEO of Marcinko Enterprises ("MEI"), a business development consultancy serving the content industry.
Marcinko brings significant experience in the content and technology industry. He previously served as CEO of nStein, a provider of tagging and entity extraction.
As I've previously written, data visualization is beginning to take hold. Mainstream media like the New York Times have adopted tree maps and heat maps as a means of understanding large volumes of data. Meanwhile, products like Visual Path and new social network visualization apps from LexisNexis and Leadership Directories have used visualization to help show relationships between people.
With Randy as CEO, I expect that Groxis will make a major push to bring data visualization to the content industry. Visualization can be an effective way to drive navigation and discovery and allows content providers to deliver new applications for their content.
