OTT technology provider Simplestream has appointed Fabio Gallo as Sales Director EMEA.
Based in the companys London office, Gallo will be responsible for devising and implementing Simplestreams sales strategy to drive business, managing a team across Europe, and leveraging channel and sports rights holder relationships to accelerate continued growth.
Gallo comes to Simplestream from Deltatre Group where he served as the business development director. He has also previously been responsible for fostering digital strategies and driving global video content distributions for Dorna Sports and FC Barcelona.
Commenting on his appointment, Gallo said: Simplestream is distinctively positioned to help lead sports broadcast and content owners into the evolving multiscreen landscape. I see immense opportunities in that space, with the rise of 4K market saturation and exploding growth of e-sports among other emerging developments, and I look forward to helping define our strategy in Europe. I am delighted to be joining this innovative business to provide our sports customers with the future-proofed solutions they need to reach their viewers in a more appealing and personalised way.
Having Fabio on board at Simplestream is a very positive and exciting step, said Dan Finch, CCO at Simplestream.
He added: With rising competition for viewer attention in todays rapidly growing OTT market, there is increasing pressure on sports rights holders and owners to deliver more immersive experiences for their increasingly hard-to-reach fans. Launching Netflix-style services is an impactful way to achieve this, so we are very pleased to have Fabio driving momentum in the sports market. His in-depth industry knowledge and proven track record will greatly contribute to Simplestreams continued success as a leader in end to end live and on-demand OTT services.
