Quickplay portfolio in AWS Marketplace

September 5, 2024

Quickplay has announced that its full solutions portfolio is available in AWS Marketplace, the online portal that helps customers find, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The availability on AWS Marketplace streamlines the ability of AWS customers to leverage the business and operational benefits of Quickplay’s cloud-native platform, including Quickplay’s award-winning CMS and its end-to-end orchestration capabilities, as well as generative AI tools to power content recommendations, generate dynamic ad placements, automate the production of highlight reels, and more.

“The fierce competition for streaming audiences is amplifying the need for the smartest, fastest, most effective ways to engage and monetise viewers,” said Paul Pastor, Chief Business Officer, Quickplay. “Our AWS Marketplace availability is turbocharging the industry’s CMS, Orchestration and AI capabilities, all of which are essential to creating value for streaming services and their customers.”

Additionally, Quickplay has promoted Prabu Chelladurai to Managing Director, EMEA – Platform Solutions & Delivery and has hired streaming technology veteran Sean Lynch as Director of Business Development and digital innovator Adam Mitchell as Global Head of Customer Success & Analytics.

“Our ability to deliver faster, more adaptable solutions has generated strong momentum for our cloud-native, open-architecture platform,” said 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.

Lynch, formerly VP of Global Accounts at HBO, played a key role in launching a cloud evaluation programme 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. Now at Quickplay, he 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 organisation dedicated to combating food insecurity in local communities, and was Senior Director of Digital at News Corp. Mitchell will be tasked with furthering Quickplay’s customer success capabilities, enhancing trust-based customer relationships, and driving client service through insight-driven interactions.
