It’s a company devoted to uniting streaming and digital platforms with data and strategy as it pertains to live sports, and it is seeing a change at the top as Andrea Marini is stepping into a role as Deputy Chairman. Who’s the new CEO at Deltatre?
Taking the Chief Executive role is Marc Watson. He replaces a man who held the CEO spot for five years, and has more than 15 years of experience with Deltatre.
Watson previously served as Chief Executive Officer of the TV Group at BT (formerly British Telecom), where he led the launch of the YouView television platform and BT Sport, now rebranded as TNT Sports. He then went on to become Co-founder and CEO of ELEVEN Sports Group, and most recently served as Chief Commercial Officer at DAZN Group, where he led global commercial strategy and oversaw a multi-billion-pound content investment program.
Watson’s arrival comes following a global search process led by Marini and majority shareholder Bain Capital. And, there’s also a new Chief Financial Officer, as Kashmir Sohi is coming on board after holding a similar role at PEI Group.
“It has been an extraordinary journey so far with Deltatre,” said Marini. “Following the successful acquisition of Endeavor Streaming, this is the right moment to welcome a new CEO. I look forward to supporting Marc, Kashmir, and the wider team.”
Watson added, “I’ve known Deltatre and so many of the great people here for years, and I am excited to be leading the business through the next phase of its growth.”
