Amsterdam, Netherlands — Industry veteran Michael H. Klein has joined forces with technology and software developer chargeDM through his representation company Next Step Entertainment LLC. Next Step Entertainment will serve as the US Brand Partner.

An expert in digital distribution, Klein has held executive positions with adult and mainstream giants like Vivid Entertainment, Gamma Entertainment, Showtime Networks, Playboy Enterprises, Vubiquity, iN Demand and LFP Inc., as well as responsible for creating and launching Hustler TV worldwide. Klein’s role will be to raise chargeDM’s North American presence by offering Skype and WhatsApp technology to monetize sites where members engage with models, performers, influencers, and operators, including dating, cam, and clip sites. With Klein’s tech background and connections, his partnership with chargeDM will bring a lot to the table.

“I’m excited to work alongside such a notable figure within the adult industry,” said Jason Collins, chargeDM’s Director of Sales. “I firmly believe Michael adds real value to our brand and will help us extend our reach into the North American market. We’ve done well throughout Europe and South America, but now we’re ready to conquer the US and Canada.”

“I was impressed with chargeDM’s technology the minute that I saw it and knew that this could be an opportunity for a lot of companies to monetize from an area that they never did before,” said Klein. “My goal is to reach out to the various companies within the industry that I have dealt with in the past, as well as new ones, to show them the ability to add a whole new revenue stream to their business.”

chargeDM licenses their technology and software to sites/platforms who want to extend their reach by offering pay-per-minute one-to-one Skype video calling, along with pay-per message WhatsApp chat. chargeDM also powers SkyPrivate for models to monetize live shows and get paid per-minute by members in the adult industry, along with Spectrali within the esoteric industry and more sites up and coming.
