Infront Productions Announces New Management Structure

Infront has established a new management structure for Infront Productions. Amikam Kranz, Senior Vice President Media, Betting, Technology and Production, assumes overall responsibility for the business. Blair Wood heads the management team with responsibility for commercial development and sales. Uzi Kakuda leads live production and editorial globally, and Alessandro Lonati oversees Infront Productions' technical facility in Milan, covering MCR operations, non-live and digital content services, production operations, and advanced technologies.

The structure follows the recent appointment of Ronald den Hollander as CEO of Host Broadcast Services (HBS), establishing distinct leadership for the two production businesses within Infront Group. HBS will focus on large-scale host broadcast operations for major global events, while Infront Productions covers a broader range of production and content services across international competitions, year-round properties, and direct client projects.

Infront Productions will take full responsibility for host broadcast delivery of the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship and continues to oversee host production of the Men's and Women's EHF EURO competitions. Recent work includes host broadcast delivery for the CEV Champions League Final Four in Turin and the multi-country CEV EuroVolley 2026. External client projects include FIFA+, the Wanda Diamond League, eSerie A, World Gymnastics, and BLAST's Brawl Stars Challengers. An extended partnership with the Badminton World Federation will include live and non-live production, streaming, and signal distribution through 2034.

Infront Productions has built considerable momentum over the last few years, combining established expertise in major international sport with new clients, formats and technology. This structure gives the business clear ownership and the focus to build on the progress made, says Philippe Blatter, President and CEO, Infront.

The priority with this new structure is to give Infront Productions clear leadership while maintaining the teams, relationships and expertise that have driven its development. We have strong people and facilities across the business, and this model gives them a clearer framework to work together and continue delivering for our clients, says Amikam Kranz, SVP Media, Betting, Technology and Production, Infront.

We have expanded both the range of services we provide and the number of clients we work with in recent years. There is a significant opportunity to build on that progress by making our capabilities easier to understand, developing new relationships in the market and continuing to grow Infront Productions as a production partner across sport, says Blair Wood.
