Aly Jetha is the founder and President of Oznoz Entertainment, a company that develops and distributes entertainment that teaches children different languages and about different cultures. Big Bad Boo Studios, the company's animation division is one of the largest animation studios in Western Canada. Its Emmy Award-winning team has developed two cartoon series, Mixed Nutz and _tool Nights, which have been distributed in over 50 countries on premier networks like Disney, PBS, and Al Jazeera Children's Channel. _tool Nights returns to Cannes this year with 52 11-minute episodes, defending its title as the #1 Canadian show. 

After graduating from Saints and then UBC, Aly began his career working in the United Nations Community, representing Canadian Members of Parliament at an NGO called Parliamentarians for Global Action. He then completed his law degree at the University of California at Berkeley after which he worked as a management consultant in the San Francisco office of Bain & Company. 

In 1998 he founded his first company, lntra Technologies, which developed and sold power semiconductors to companies like Volvo, Mercedes Benz, and TRW. Aly sold Intra to a strategic partner in 2003 and then joined the founding team of Via One Technologies, a prepaid telecommunications and transaction processing company. During his five-year tenure as Chief Operating and Chief Corporate Officer, Via One went from being a start-up with no revenue to being one of the largest distributors of prepaid airtime in the United States, generating over $350 million in annual revenue. 

In 2008, to his parents chagrin, Aly left Via One to start Oznoz Entertainment. Aly and his wife are excited about launching their new business, oznoz.com, which distributes cartoons that teach children different languages. Oznoz.com recently acquired exclusive rights to all foreign languages versions of Sesame Street.
