The founder and former CEO of Slated has joined the Los Angeles-based social tagging platform as head of product.

NeonGrid enables professionals in the video and music industries to secure a credit for their role to their work posted online.

Cork will oversee brand and product services expansion and reports to CEO and co-founder John W Gibbons.

“Since NeonGrid launched, we have received an enthusiastic response from new media professionals and musicians in search of a content-based resume solution that truly showcases all of their work and collaborations,” said Gibbons.

“Duncan’s experience at Slated.com of successfully growing a respected network of influential players in film, one of the most tech-skeptical communities, is invaluable to us. His talent and expertise in UX, UI, and design will ensure that NeonGrid provides the compelling user experience that our current and future users are demanding and expect.”

“I am very fortunate to join the NeonGrid mission at this time,” said Cork. “Professionals at all levels in the video and music industries have to find a better way to represent themselves in the face of the explosive growth in digital content and distribution.”
