Distribution Manager H. Wayne Miller: COS Spotlight

We are pretty sure Wayne has always worked for COS even before there was a COS. He is like the anchor that keeps the company grounded and sure. Wayne started doing video distribution in 2005 back in the day when MySpace was the biggest social media site around. Remember those days? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Then YouTube and Facebook hit the scene and the quiet land of COS-Video-Distribution took flight and has grown into the great online metropolis it is today. In 2005 Wayne uploaded videos to 10 sites and it was a big sales point to clients. Now, he has amassed a sizable collection of online distribution sites (350 and growing!) in which he oversees. He was, for the first two years, THE distribution department. Now, the distribution department is made of a staff of six, including Wayne.

Wayne is a successful musician.
Here he is playing at Gilley's in the 80's

Wayne has great passion for what he does. He takes personal interest in every video he uploads. He can tell you what sites are good for which genres and what sites are just plain crummy to use and why. Wayne works full time for COS.

A little-known fact about Wayne is that he looks suspiciously similar to the CEO of Circle of Seven, Sheila English. Could be they are related. At least that’s what her birth certificate says.
