Robert "Izzy" Izquierdo is a contributing Stock Market Analyst at The Motley Fool covering publicly traded companies in information technology, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and communication services sectors. Prior to The Motley Fool, Izzy was Head of Product Management at Target Media Partners, developing and launching multimillion-dollar software used by businesses such as Charter Communications. Prior to that, he worked at Yahoo! and different startups on a variety of software products in the realms of Connected TV, AI, consumer apps, and digital advertising. Izzy holds a B.A. in English Literature from UCLA and is certified in software product management. Fun fact: Years before connected TV and streaming services became popular, Izzy met with executives at the CBS television network to convince them this technology (which was new at the time) was worth participating in. They didn't think the tech would take off.
