Pete Watson After spending many years as a touring musician and working in the music business from all facets as a producer, designer, and even retail music store manger; Pete made a career move and joined Universal Music Canada fulltime in the mid 1990s. Initially working in marketing and promotion Pete’s keen interest and knowledge of new technology and the nascent “world wide web” secured him a position with Universal that would allow him to help build the company’s online presence and New Media team. Working with artists and within the industry Pete gained considerable knowledge and insight into how music and technology would be critical to the music business of tomorrow. After working on numerous digital and mobile music initiatives for Universal Music the transition to Research In Motion Limited in early 2007 as Senior Business Development Manager for consumer applications was a natural evolution for Pete’s continued interest in technology and content. With RIM expanding its BlackBerry line of industry leading smartphones to appeal to consumers as well as business and enterprise users, Pete was brought into the BlackBerry ISV Alliances Group as team lead for consumer applications. Having successfully established strong partnerships and launched applications with content and consumer leaders such as: ESPN, MLB, Napster, XM Radio, Slacker, The New York Times, CNN, NBC Universal, MTV, BBC, TiVo, SlingBox and many more; Pete has transitioned his humble musician beginnings into an active role that is helping to shape the way consumers will interact with their mobile devices from one of the leading brands in the world.
