Jacob Navok
Jacob Navok is the co-founder and CEO of Genvid Holdings, the New York company betting that audiences would rather steer a story than just watch it. He coined the category MILE - Massively Interactive Live Event - and shipped it with Silent Hill: Ascension and The Walking Dead: Last Mile, where hundreds of thousands of viewers vote, bid, and play their way into canon. Before Genvid he ran worldwide business development at Square Enix and built its cloud gaming arm, Shinra Technologies. He raised $113M in a 2021 Series C to turn interactive streaming from a technology into a consumer brand.
