Be an Optimist to Find Business Opportunities, with Andy Sriubas

You may not have heard of him before, but OpenWater member, Andy Sriubas has been at the center of more than a few big disruptions in business. Whether it was converting a hotel video operation into mini cable service, getting information screens up in major subway systems or helping convert movie theater chains from film to digital projection — Andy has a knack for shifting businesses in bold new directions.

In this Q&A, Andy chats about his work getting theaters ready for the first Avatar movie, how he negotiates for solutions rather than sales, and why you should be an optimist to see the opportunities others don’t.
