To reflect the company’s continued investment in Asia as demand for its cloud native, modular platform continues to grow, Quickplay has appointed Xavier Marlé as Regional Sales Director, Southeast Asia and Australia/New Zealand.
With vast experience of helping to shape technology transformations and business successes for media and entertainment companies throughout the Asia-Pacific and EMEA markets, Marlé will help Quickplay support the over-the-top (OTT) industry’s burgeoning need for fast, flexible, scalable solutions that will continue to drive viewer engagement and monetisation in the coming Generative AI era.
He will work directly with providers to help them leverage Quickplay’s cloud-native, open architected OTT platform to create end-to-end and modular solutions that can support multiple brands and business models from a single backend.
Paul Pastor, CBO & Co-Founder of Quickplay, said, “Xavier Marlé has the strong engineering background, the keen understanding of customers’ needs, and the deep relationships to help Quickplay customers build products that will deliver business success today and in the future.”
Marlé has been a catalyst for industry change in APAC over the past nine years, leading sales, business development and other functions in the region for Brightcove, Seachange, iFeelSmart and iWedia.
He said, “With Generative AI on every streaming provider’s roadmap, architecture will matter more than ever to OTT success in the coming years.
“Quickplay’s engineering leadership and its clear vision of the future are helping its customers build the new features that are engaging and monetising customers today and are simplifying integration of powerful AI capabilities in the years to come.”
Quickplay’s OTT platform is designed to build and run scalable applications in the cloud using cloud-native technologies, including containers, microservices, a service mesh, APIs, and immutable infrastructure.
