Mr. Morgan is a pioneer in online syndication. As one of the founders of ScreamingMedia, a leading provider of information management solutions for the aggregation, distribution and integration of real-time business and financial information into websites, intranets, wireless sites and interactive television, he developed the product specifications and key features of what became ScreamingMedia's core product, the Editors Desk. Morgan also developed the first royalty pool sharing model for Internet syndication that allowed thousands of content producers to benefit from ScreamingMedia's meteoric rise to the Internet's largest text syndication network. He crafted the initial content partnership deals for ScreamingMedia with the The Associated Press, PR Newswire, New York Times Syndicate and Comtex, which included other newswires such as Deutsche Press, Agence French Press, Xinhua and Kyodo News service and many others. Morgan went on to build a 60-person sales and business development organization, and grew monthly revenue from $15,000 to $1.8 million in under 24 months. ScreamingMedia debuted on the Nasdaq in August of 2000 and was subsequently acquired by CBS MarketWatch for over $100 million.
