About Michael Smouha
I’ve followed an uncharted path to success. Growing up in Montreal, I immersed myself in the city’s vibrant music scene and started a half-decent rock band called Bent Beyond Belief. At 16, I gave up my rock star dreams and became the next best thing, a rock journalist, interviewing music icons from Yoko Ono to Flava Flav for Velvetpanda.com, an online cultural portal I founded that attracted monthly visitors. My formal career began at leading Canadian marketing agency OSL, which I left to pursue an MBA at MIT Sloan. There, I was President of the Tech Club and crafted a 12-week Business Creativity curriculum featuring an Asia trip and guest speakers including the band Arcade Fire. Next I spent three years helming Jawbone products including UP for Groups, a corporate wellness solution that spans hardware, mobile and web. I led the Mobile Apps team (9 engineers, designers, and marketers) at Plume, which is driving a much-needed revolution in home WiFi. Since 2017, I\'ve been at YouTube, making sure that videos play well for all users all the time.
