Brent Hurley was a founding member of YouTube and served in a variety of roles during his tenure, most notably as director of finance and operations. After the company was acquired by Google in October 2006, Hurley led YouTube’s syndication efforts with consumer electronics companies as a manager on the Strategic Partner Development team. He focused primarily on partnerships that enabled off-web interactions such as video viewing and video uploading on a wide range of networked devices, including cameras, IP connected TVs and game consoles.

Before YouTube, Hurley worked as a head securities trader at Fisher Investments, a multi-billion-dollar asset management firm. His startup roots trace back to early work at PayPal.
 
Hurley graduated in 2001 from Albright College with a dual degree in finance and philosophy. He is currently an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School, class of 2011.
