 Braiker, Ivan
Chief Executive Officer, HipCricket
Ivan Braiker is a co-founder of HipCricket, but he has been a force for change in the broadcast industry for decades. He co-founded and was president of Satellite Music Network, the first radio network to distribute live, 24-hour programming via satellite, an innovation that earned him Billboard Magazine's “Trendsetter of the Year” award. In the interim, he built a series of radio networks, starting with Olympia Broadcasting, which became one of the first publicly-held radio groups. When Braiker got there, it was a single station, when he left, it held a 15 station portfolio with presences in eight key markets. He subsequently co-founded and served as president of New Northwest Broadcasters, which grew under Braiker's leadership to hold more than 40 stations. His reputation for leadership has earned him the respect of an entire industry. He is a frequent speaker at National Association of Broadcasters and Radio Advertising Bureau events.
