New Hire
Digital Domain is expected to announce today that it has hired Debra Streicker-Fine, former president and chief executive of Cloud 9 Interactive, to lead its interactive media group.
Streicker-Fine oversees about 30 people who produce CD-ROMs, games and content for the Internet and interactive television at the Venice special-effects firm. Digital Domain Interactive Media produced the “Barbie Fashion Designer” CD-ROM, which has sold 1.3 million copies, and its sequel, “Barbie Cool Looks.” The group is working on a project with Danish toy maker Lego.
Streicker-Fine has a long history in children’s interactive software. Cloud 9 spent four years producing children’s CD-ROMs, before venture capitalists pulled the plug on the Marina del Rey start-up in January. Before that, Streicker-Fine served as marketing head for Disney Interactive.
