Most recently, Srinivasan was the president and chief executive officer at Innotrac Corporation, an ecommerce fulfillment provider doing business throughout the United States. Srinivasan oversaw Innotrac's recent merger with eBay Enterprise, which positioned the company for significant global expansion and increased distribution.

During Srinivasan's tenure the annual revenue run rate for the company grew from $500 million in 2005 to $1.2 billion in 2014. Further, the company saw a stock price increase of 700 percent in the same time period, beating the S&P500 and AGEM indices by nearly 600 percent. Srinivasan also successfully executed and integrated the largest acquisition for the company to date, buying SHFL Entertainment for $1.4 billion.
"Mr. Srinivasan's outstanding track record of leadership and experience in massively scaling technology-focused public companies, combined with his passion and determination to win, makes him a perfect fit for Ooyala," said Charlotte Yarkoni, president of Telstra Software Group and vice chairman of the board for Ooyala.
