Prior to creating The Viddiverse, Malcolm ran a public fund culminating in a $174mm acquisition. He served as senior vice president of kids and teens for AOL from December 2002 through his resignation in March 2007. Malcolm was responsible for building a business from inception, providing for AOL’s 2–12 year olds and 13- 17 year olds. Malcolm built the kids business KOL to be #4 in the US and teen business RED to be #1 in the US. Malcolm created and oversaw the strategy, development, instigation, sales, P&L, staffing, business development, marketing, and PR.
