Darcy Lorincz
Chief Executive Officer
Darcy Lorincz is the CEO of Origin Digital Inc., the leading global IP broadcasting company.
In his role, Mr. Lorincz directs the vision and growth plans for the company. Under his executive direction, Origin Digital continues as the premier global provider of Digital Media products and services within the Accenture Communications and High Tech portfolio of services.
Mr. Lorincz has a proven track record, over the last 20 years building, implementing, and managing technology strategies, products, and solutions for media, communications and IT industries. Mr. Lorincz, along with his co-founders, was responsible for designing the business plan, strategy and raising the capital to form this private company derived from assets acquired from the public Hosting and Content Delivery Company, SAVVIS Communications.
Prior to Origin Digital, Mr. Lorincz was responsible for designing the strategy and implementing the practice of Global Rich Media Services at SAVVIS where he orchestrated the formation of the Media and Entertainment Division. From inception to the independent business unit, the M&E division contributed significantly to SAVVIS' annual global revenue at the time.

This new BBC venture was primarily focused on new Media in IP and Mobile program distribution. Ultimately, that business was sold to Siemens.
Preceding his time at the BBC, Lorincz was the Managing Director for M&E at Global Crossing. It was there that he directed the technology strategy for the platform entry of Global Crossing into the Media & Entertainment markets. He directed the execution of the technology strategy and operating plan for a global applications-enabled media extranet both for on-demand and consumption based network services in the Broadcast, Cable, News, and Sports markets.
The IP video market is exploding and, in the noise and chaos of this growth, Origin Digital remains a bellwether provider of innovative, scalable and reliable digital media services within the industry. Combined with the strength and reach of Accenture, under Mr. Lorincz's leadership, we are confident that this great company will only continue to grow in its position within the market & increasingly prosper for years to come.
