Jason Hirschhorn
Jason Hirschhorn is an American media executive and entrepreneur who serves as CEO of REDEF, a digital content curation company. He previously held senior digital leadership roles including Chief Digital Officer of MTV Networks, President of Sling Media, and co-president of MySpace. He is known for his early work in digital music at MTV Networks, where he built the URGE digital music service and debated Steve Jobs on subscription-based music models prior to the launch of iTunes.
“Jason Hirshhorn made the case to Steve Jobs that iTunes wasn't the way to go. The way to go was to put together basically a music streaming service, which would have been like Spotify. And Steve Jobs was adamant about, no, that's not the way we're going to do it.”
