He was named Executive Vice-President in 2009. Over the years, Fisher had been responsible for transitioning the association as the formats and the business models have changed, and for transforming the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) into the Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA) and more recently into OTT.X.
Prior to EMA, Fisher served as Senior Vice-President/Retail Operations for West Coast Entertainment, where he was responsible for in-store and field management as well as warehousing and distribution for the 240 store chain.
Fisher started his career in 1975 as a store manager for a large supermarket chain. In 1982, he held responsibility for the field operations of all general merchandise and health and beauty care departments in Stop & Shop Supermarket Company’s Connecticut Division. In 1985, Fisher developed the video rental division of Stop & Shop, which, under his direction, grew to 60 stores at its peak. Fisher held responsibility for store operations, purchasing, marketing, and profitability for over ten years.
Fisher studied Business Administration at the State University of New York/Albany and at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He grew up in Troy, New York and spent most of his adult years in the Boston area prior to moving to Studio City, CA in 1999 where he now resides with his wife Julie Harris Fisher and their Chihuahua-Patterdale, Cookie.
