Metadata specialist Simply.TV has launched in the Australian, New Zealand, and Latin American markets.
The expansion follows growth in Europe where it says it has signed up over 100 TV operators and broadcasters to serve EPG, super-aggregation of streaming catalogues and sports metadata.
Simply.TV appointed Ernest Ng as the SVP for the ANZ markets, effective 3 July.
Ng is a former Regional Director at Gracenote and. will be based in Sydney, Australia. He will be leading the commercial client and partnership relationships in the region.
“Ernest’s extensive experience from TV operators, combined with his thought leadership, perfectly aligns with Simply.TV’s vision and ambitions. His long-term strategic vision of building out the region and his customer-obsessed passion for delivering a customer experience and value creation is fundamental to how we operate at Simply.TV. With the current market situation, we are eager to bring quality through direct integrations with broadcasters, streaming services and other third parties,” said Simply.TV’s COO, Daniel Rühmann.
“I was immediately captivated by the flexibility and robustness of Simply.TV’s metadata platform. After years of working with metadata, I recognize that Simply.TV’s market-disrupting offerings fulfill a long-standing demand from operators and broadcasters – now we are ready to support their product execution,” said Ng.
