Gorog led the company's successful spin-off from Adaptec. Inc. and took the
company public in May of 2001 (NASDAQ: "ROXI"). Since then Gorog's
leadership of Roxio has resulted in the creation of the Roxio consumer
brand, broadening the company's role in digital media to include photo and

product road-map with the introduction of the Digital Media Suite and
leading the acquisition of Napster, the game-changing on-line music service.
Prior to joining Roxio, Gorog spent twenty-two years in the entertainment

responsible for new product development, as well as creating the division's
international market entry strategies. His accomplishments at Universal
include leading the acquisition of "Port Aventura", Universal's resort
property in Spain, and supervising the development of more than one billion
dollars in planned expansion which included Universal's location-based
entertainment "City Walk" developments.
Before joining Universal, Gorog served for six years as President and Chief
Executive officer of the worldwide motion picture and television production
company ITC Entertainment Group. Highlights of his career at ITC include
assembling the management buy-out of the company and leading ITC to the
number-one position in the production of network television movies and
mini-series.
Prior to ITC, Gorog was Vice President of Business Affairs for The Walt
Disney Company. In that role, he oversaw deal-making for both the film and
television divisions and was significantly involved in the creation of The
Disney Channel.
Most recently, Gorog participated in the acquisition of Universal's concert
division by House of Blues Entertainment. Gorog is a director of House of
Blues, a leading North American concert producer and owner of HOB.com, the
