James Heckman

James C. Heckman is a digital media architect, tech founder, and the CEO of Roundtable (Roundtable.io)—the industry’s first vertically integrated, decentralized Media Operating System.

For over three decades across every major internet cycle, James has specialized in building foundational media infrastructure and massive, highly engaged digital communities. James possesses a rare "12-0" track record as a founder—every company he has launched has survived market volatility and remains operational today, resulting in two public listings. He previously served as Chief Strategy Officer of Fox Interactive (leading the landmark MySpace/Google partnership) and Global Media Chief Strategist at Yahoo! (where he architected Hulu's business model). Today, his corporate R&D focuses on "Community Architecture 3.0," utilizing decentralized infrastructure and real-time economic settlement to free independent journalists and premium publishers from the algorithmic control and payment lags of Big Tech monopolies.
