Magine Pro has appointed the former head of development for Telia Media & Entertainment as its new head of engineering.
Marcus Lindén has a long background within digital media and OTT services, primarily at TV4 and Bonnier Broadcasting. Most recently he was behind the integration of common platforms and services following the telco’s acquisition of Bonnier Broadcasting. He has also worked at Telenor, developing digital channels for its consumer businesses.
“We are very pleased to have him on our team as we continue our journey to be one of the leading platforms for streaming, offering advanced SaaS solutions and managed services to serve the international mid-tier of streaming services,” says Matthew Wilkinson, CEO of Magine. “Marcus’ experience from developing and running two of the major Scandinavian OTT services, C More, TeliaTV and TV4 Play, has great value for us when further developing our platform that serves entertainment and sports services mainly in Europe and US.”
At the same time, Magine has hired Daniel Ottestig as its new people and organisation manager. He was previously head of HR in Sweden and Finland for Willis Tower Watson, the global advisory and solutions company within risk management.
