Hello world!

I'm Noah Schwartz, a seasoned professional with a deep passion for the media industry and a strong focus on building exceptional streaming products. This website serves as both a bio and a portfolio, featuring a comprehensive showcase of my career achievements, personal projects, photography, and videos. Here, you'll also catch glimpses of my family life, including my kids' artwork.

Career Journey

My journey in the industry started in New York, where I interned and later landed a job at MTV Networks after college. Working at MTV, I discovered my love for media and developed a strong foundation in motion graphics and post-production.

Unfortunately, the 2008 recession led to layoffs, and I found myself navigating a challenging job market. However, I persevered and took on freelance work and a part-time job at an Apple Store, driven by my determination to find my way back into the industry I loved.

Passion for Streaming Services

Motivated by a natural inclination for organization and efficiency, I found my true calling in digital operations. At Deluxe, I steadily climbed the ranks and played a pivotal role in leading the transition from tape-based content distribution to a digital framework. Through the implementation of industry-standard transcoding software systems and the development of streamlined processes, I enhanced the stability, performance, and profitability of the company. This success eventually led to the acquisition of our unit by Adstream, a testament to our team's innovation and strategic contributions.

Fueling my passion for streaming services, I seized the opportunity to join Ovation TV, a cable company venturing into the realm of standalone AVOD services. Here, I played a crucial role in launching and operating Journy.tv, a captivating travel and lifestyle app distributed across various platforms, including Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, mobile platforms, and leading FAST providers such as Samsung TV Plus. The experience broadened my understanding of the streaming landscape and solidified my belief in the power of digital content delivery.

From there, I transitioned to Tennis Channel, spearheading the launch of a new SVOD product for international distribution. Simultaneously, I contributed to the development of a domestic and international FAST channel, exclusively launching with Samsung TV Plus. These endeavors allowed me to further hone my skills in product development, content distribution, and audience engagement.

Current Role

In August 2023, I embraced the opportunity to serve as a Video Product Manager for Nexstar Digital, where I continue to fuel my enthusiasm for innovative streaming services and digital content delivery. My passion for building great streaming products, coupled with my expertise in developing and operating streaming services, drives me to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of user experience and content delivery.

Personal Life

Beyond my professional endeavors, I find fulfillment in a range of personal pursuits. As a dedicated family man, I cherish precious moments with my wife and two lovely girls. We reside in the vibrant South Bay of Los Angeles, where we embrace the warm community and picturesque surroundings. In my downtime, you'll often find me indulging in my love for sports, particularly Tennis, Pickleball, Ping Pong, Basketball, Baseball, and Golf. I'm also an unwavering fan of New York sports, with the Knicks and Mets holding a special place in my heart.
