Roger Elsener will become the new CEO of TV streaming provider Zattoo, taking over the position from Nick Brambring from 1 October 2024.
Brambring announced his departure in June 2024 after managing Zattoo for over 12 years. During Brambring tenure, Zattoo grew its B2C business in Germany and Switzerland and expanded its operations in Austria. Zattoo also grew its white-label business targeting market players aiming to launch a TV offer.
Elsener was previously Managing Director of Swiss media company CH Media Entertainment and a member of the Executive Board of parent company CH Media since 2018. He was also CEO of CH Media TV, the joint venture between CH Media and Sunrise for its TV group and the streaming service oneplus.
Prior to joining CH Media, Elsener held management positions in various media companies, including AZ Medien AG, 3+ Group and Viacom International Media Networks.
“We are very happy and excited that Roger Elsener is joining us as Zattoo’s new leader. He is an accomplished and renowned CEO within the media ecosystem. His extensive experience is a great asset for the enablement of Zattoo’s next growth phase,” said Sam Hügli, President of the Board of Directors at Zattoo. “A big thank you to Nick for his service to Zattoo during the past 18 years. As CEO, he built our strategy around B2B and partnerships, leading to consistent, strong and profitable growth.”
Elsener added: “I have great respect for the successful development Zattoo has seen since its launch in 2006, and I am honoured to join its team amid these exciting times within the video streaming industry. Together with the highly talented team, I look forward to helping Zattoo move to the next level in delivering unparalleled technology and entertainment experiences for our customers and partners.”
Brambring said: “Roger and I have known each other since 2007, and I am very confident that he is the best person for the job. Roger, a strong management team and many fantastic colleagues will lift Zattoo to the next level while upholding our strong culture. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served Zattoo as CEO for nearly 13 years.”
