Quickplay has expanded its strategic leadership team in a move to continue to fuel growth and enhance our media and technology expertise, accelerating customer deployments and driving expansion across EMEA and globally.

Our ability to deliver faster, more adaptable solutions has generated strong momentum for our cloud-native, open-architecture platform, says Andre Christensen, CEO and co-founder of Quickplay. With Prabu Chelladurai, Sean Lynch, and Adam Mitchell on board, we're set to accelerate our customers' success and drive substantial growth.

Chelladurai, who has played a leading role in deployment and innovation across Quickplay's diverse customer base, will assume strategic leadership of Quickplay's teams. Working closely with Wim Ponnet, Quickplay's President of EMEA, along with other global leads, Chelladurai will oversee teams that establish, scale, and optimize key functions to ensure that clients receive the exceptional quality of service they need to achieve business and market success. Come meet Prabu at IBC 2024, he will be speaking on a panel discussing Market Success With Multiple Monetisation Models on Saturday, September 14 (3:30 PM CET) at CE Stage Hall 5 (5.A28).

Lynch, formerly VP of Global Accounts at HBO, played a key role in launching a cloud evaluation program with Amazon, leading to significant cost savings for WBD Technology, and oversaw STB app expansion across LATAM and Europe for HBO's You.i TV platform.

Additionally, at You.i TV, as VP of Strategic Accounts, he drove a 400% increase in account revenues. Now at Quickplay, Sean will lead strategic partnerships with cloud providers and the ISVs ecosystem. He will also continue to identify growth and sales opportunities while developing go-to-market strategies to expand our reach and deliver innovative solutions.

Mitchell joins Quickplay from McKinsey & Co., where he was an associate partner advising senior executives in the media and technology sectors on customer success and AI/digital transformations. He previously had been a co-founder of Blockparty, an organization dedicated to combating food insecurity in local communities, and was Senior Director of Digital at News Corp. Mitchell will further scale Quickplay's customer success capabilities, enhancing trust-based customer relationships, and driving exceptional client service through insight-driven interactions.
