LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SpringboardVR, a leading provider of VR venue management and content distribution infrastructure for location-based entertainment (LBE) has hired Michael Festa as Chief Business Officer. Festa most recently served as Director of Distribution for a leading virtual reality game developer and publisher.
As CBO, Festa will focus on expanding SpringboardVR's content licensing and venue management solutions to more partners across the globe.
