Meet Dalton

From the bustling tech scene in Los Angeles to the innovation hubs of New England, Dalton Letorney has seamlessly integrated his passion for digital technology, entertainment, and business for over 13 years.

Dalton’s fascination with technology began early. He humorously recalls that his favorite computer game was “System Preferences,” as he relished exploring settings and discovering hidden features. By age 11, he had built his first website, often staying up all night driven by sheer enjoyment.

Dalton graduated from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California (USC), where he honed a unique perspective at the crossroads of technology and entertainment. His academic journey reflects a commitment to engineering, strategic management, and the entertainment industry.

With a foundation in growth marketing across start-up, nonprofit, and SAAS, and fin-tech industries, Dalton found an intersection of his skills in the video streaming industry. This led him to a role at Hulu, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. As one of the youngest team members, he played a pivotal role in Product Marketing and Strategic Growth. He spearheaded the go-to-market strategy for the Hulu Student Deal and later transitioned into Product Marketing & Experimentation, overseeing the acquisition and expertimentation strategy for Hulu.com. Dalton’s custom-coded tools and components for A/B testing have generated tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue and operating income, and his internal tools are now used daily across Disney subsidiaries, including Disney Parks, ESPN, and ABC.

This experience fueled Dalton’s passion for software engineering. As the founder of DLTN Innovations, he leads a consultancy that tackles significant challenges for medium and large companies in the entertainment and tech sectors. His team develops innovative software solutions that save time and resources, allowing businesses to focus on growth and innovation.

As a keynote speaker, Dalton has shared his expertise at prestigious events such as DataCon LA, NFT Expoverse, and South by Southwest. He offers insights on marketing strategies in the entertainment industry, the integration of new technologies in art creation, and career-building advice for students with artistic backgrounds.

Dalton is dedicated to education, believing it to be one of the most powerful tools for empowerment. His work aims to make a positive impact on businesses and their customers, driven by the belief that there is always a solution to every challenge. He views technology and education as keys to achieving freedom and maximizing potential. Through his efforts, Dalton helps businesses streamline operations, boost productivity, and accelerate their work pace, all while emphasizing the importance of working smarter, not harder.
