About Alan Goodman

At TESTD, we have built the first complete system that allows employers, entertainment venues, care facilities, campuses, and municipalities to manage testing for infectious diseases including COVID-19; provides a "safe worker" ID; and features a manager's dashboard. TESTD can also provide vaccine verification. The system - which includes a smart phone app, a tablet app for high volume patient intake, and a desktop dashboard - is secure and HIPAA compliant. Our TESTD interfaces with software at the clinical lab and at doctors’ offices, and stores information on the blockchain for security and privacy. I serve in the same role at Aeryus.com, where we build blockchain solutions for industries including account security, payments, and online retailing. I began my career in media as part of the team that built MTV, and with my partner at the time, Fred Seibert, I developed and popularized the world-famous MTV logo. We forged the look and sound of the network. Later, we re-launched Nickelodeon and turned it into the home base for kids, laying the foundation that made it the #1 Network For Kids for more than fifteen years. We also served as the company’s advertising agency for nine years, and during that time, launched VH-1 and Comedy Central, and created and launched Nick-at-Nite. For 30+ years at MTV, I also consulted on their digital channels, online networks, virtual worlds, and consumer products. I helped forge point of view around image, on-air promotion, day part programming, product development, content creation, and social networking. More recently, I developed the name and identity of COZI-TV for NBC, where I also wrote and produced all network specials for four years. Before that, I was the branding consultant at HLN for CNN and at BBC America, where I also produced pop culture content and specials. Earlier, I worked with Comcast to launch FearNET on VOD and broadband; Studio 3 Partners on the naming, logo and launch of Epix; and with TV Guide Network. At the beginning of my career I consulted with, created marketing campaigns for, or developed identity programs for such companies as Virgin, The Movie Channel, Showtime, A&E, TBS, FOX, VH1, HBO, Headline News, Comedy Central, UPN, and others. Additionally I am an award winning writer/producer of sitcoms, game shows, animated series, specialty comedy writing for celebrities, and mysteries, including one series nominated for an Emmy during my stint as head writer. I also wrote a young adult novel for Simon & Schuster and a comic book for Virgin Comics.
