Martin's deep industry expertise, strong relationships across the German media ecosystem, and proven track record in business transformation make him the ideal leader to drive our expansion in the region.

In his new role, Wacker will focus on expanding Amagi's footprint among broadcasters, OTT platforms, and content owners, helping them modernize operations, scale distribution, and unlock new monetization opportunities across connected TV environments.

The DACH regions broadcast and streaming landscape is evolving rapidly, with increasing adoption of FAST, cloud-native playout, and AI-driven content workflows.
