Sibley added that O’Connor has “created and overseen non-fiction film and television projects for a range of platforms — and existing Time Studios partners — including ABC, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube and more, as well as brands such as American Express, Apple, Walmart, ABInBev and others. 

Previously, O’Connor was co-founder and co-CEO of Majordomo Media, where he produced Chefs vs. Wild for Hulu and created a podcast network and an original FAST channel.
