Bio
Kurt Donnell
I have had the chance to work with hundreds of great people over the years, but few have left a mark on me and the way I approach the world like Aki. His passion and intelligence are evident from the first time you meet him. He is fantastic at building truly strategic partnerships and is an inspiring leader. I am lucky to have had the chance to have Aki on my team and grateful I now get to call him a friend.
Philippe Guelton
I worked closely with Aki for almost three years at Sheknows Media. As one of my direct reports, he oversaw the rapid growth of our publisher ad network but also monetization partnerships such as content syndication, video monetization and ecommerce. With his charisma and strong personality Aki has developed an impressive network over the years, and he was an invaluable representative of the company in the industry. As a fast thinker, he is deeply knowledgable of both the business and technology dimensions of digital media. His team loved him and could always count on him for support. It was a great pleasure to have Aki on my team.

Hip Hop was birthed by the disenfranchised urban community as a way to express the pain and struggles faced by the demographic; which was often ignored, mistreated and undervalued. REVOLT.TV will be the digital space where these same people, who feel like their thoughts and opinions are overlooked, can loudly speak up and speak out about their world. From their joys, pains, and everything in between; REVOLT.TV uses Hip Hop as a lens to focus on telling the urban community’s own truths, whether mainstream America’s feathers get ruffled or not. We do not bite our tongues. When we say we are Hip Hop and we are unapologetic, we mean it.
