Tom Hayes Email Address

Senior Vice President and Head of New Media

Paramount Pictures is part of the entertainment operations of Viacom, Inc., one of the world's largest entertainment and media companies and a leader in the production, promotion and distribution of entertainment, news, sports and music.

I make things happen. That’s my brand. Sure, ABC News and Fast Company magazine have called me a "marketing guru" (Fast Company also called me “A Model Citizen for the 21st Century,” so, take that as you will). But what I really do is transform struggling, floundering or simply tired companies into growth machines and industry leaders. In Silicon Valley, I have built a strong reputation for innovative marketing in very tough industry segments: software, mobile, semiconductors, capital equipment. I have written several best-selling books about how technology is changing our world. Now, I am a bridge between Silicon Valley and Hollywood, pushing the boundaries of new technology, entertainment and pop culture. That’s what I do: I make things happen. Summary I have been a senior marketing executive at companies such as HP, Applied Materials and Marvell. I was the founding chairman and CEO of the growth-hacking venture, Joint Venture: Silicon Valley. Today, I am bridging Silicon Valley and Hollywood and taking new media in wildly new directions. I earned a Bachelor’s degree from Boston University, completed graduate executive programs at Stanford University and Harvard Business School. I am an Associate Fellow at Oxford University, Said School of Business and a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. .
