In this role, Mr. Horstman will lead TiVo's analytics and advertising team, driving improved targeting and effectiveness of advertising across all devices and platforms. He will oversee deliverables across the company's strategic product roadmap and manage overall business group operations. Mr. Horstman will be based out of the company's New York office and will report directly to Pete Thompson, executive vice president and chief operating officer, TiVo.

As an accomplished executive with a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, Walt brings renewed perspective and deeply relevant experience to TiVo's analytics and advertising offerings, said Mr. Thompson. His diverse background and industry knowledge surrounding data-driven insights and advanced TV advertising make him especially well-suited for this role and we're thrilled to have him on-board to further our analytics strategy.
