Cyan Banister is the Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of Zivity.com, an online social networking community for connoisseurs of pinup photography that offers a secure environment for adults only. Zivity celebrates sexuality and free markets by rewarding models and photographers.

Zivity is Cyan’s brainchild. Her dream to connect the social web with sexy photos is the kernel that became Zivity. Cyan’s idea is a damn good one; that’s why Zivity is the first company in the “adult space” to be backed by Silicon Valley investment.

Cyan brings more than ten years of management experience to Zivity; from scaling operational infrastructure to building teams and championing company culture. Cyan held a senior management role at IronPort where she supervised throngs of employees and oversaw a slew of departments. Her mission for Zivity is putting models first and creating an environment that nurtures artistic freedom. “Freedom of expression without judgment” is her motto.

Morgan Ailis Webb is a host for the WebbAlert podcast, a co-host and senior segment producer of the G4 show X-Play, and was a monthly columnist for FHM, where she contributed a monthly video game column called “The Gaming Goddess”.

Webb developed computer skills in her free time at Berkeley, and after graduating from college, worked for a dot-com company as a website administrator. After the company went under during the dot-com bubble burst of 2000, her friend Catherine Schwartz hired her at TechTV in 2001 and Morgan became employed as the associate producer and web researcher for The Screen Savers. Webb is one of only six TechTV personalities, including Adam Sessler, Sarah Lane, Chi-Lan Lieu, Kevin Rose, and Brendan Moran, to survive the massive layoffs resulting from the May 2004 merger of G4 and TechTV. However, since G4’s change of format, only Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb remain on the network.

In August 2005, Webb became a contributing game columnist for FHM, alongside her regular hosting duties on X-Play. Her monthly column was titled “Tips From The Gaming Goddess”. Readers were encouraged to email Morgan their video game-related inquiries; she would then answer one question each month. In February 2007, Webb wrote her final column for the magazine, as FHM discontinued its US publication later that March.

Webb started a daily [Mon - Thur] video blogging initiative, called WebbAlert, on August 2, 2007. These daily videos are approximately 5 minutes in length and consist of a recap of popular technical news of the day.

She is married to Rob Reid who founded listen.com, and was involved in the creation of the RealNetworks music service Rhapsody.

At the age of 34, the peak of her popularity, she was downloaded 70,000 times in a span of 24 hours.

In an April 2006 interview with The Washington Post, Margolis discussed her nude photo session for the December 2006 issue of Playboy, saying that she had posed for Playboy many times in the past, but never full frontal nude. She cited her good looks at age 40 and wanting to be an inspiration to mothers and women her age as the reason she chose to finally pose nude. “It will be fun to go up against the 20-year-olds and show them that they don’t have anything on me!” she told the AP. In an interview with EXTRA she said that Desperate Housewives had been an inspiration for her as it showed that mothers her age can also be fit and sexy. Margolis’ nude pictorial was published in the December 2006 issue of Playboy. A portion of the proceeds from issues sold will go to a charity for which Margolis is a spokesperson, Resolve. The charity aims to get fertility treatment better covered by insurance companies. Read More…
