I am absolutely delighted to be joining the Board of Pixelrights at such a pivotal time in its history with its renewed focus on innovative technology. The SmartFrame is absolutely ground breaking and addresses a problem that has haunted all online licensing agencies – how do we prevent copyright abuse, the illegal right-click and preserve the value of premium content while creating a frictionless path to purchase that provides attribution, security and sales. I think we have the answer in The SmartFrame. I am looking forward to contributing to the globalstrategy of the business and ensuring that The SmartFrame becomes a household name across our industry.”

We have already embarked on a strong recruitment drive to hire in some of the best people in the industry to pioneer our new image format and are excited about what the future holds.
