Zattoo appoints Alex Guest to build online TV in the UK
London, 13 November 2008. – Zattoo, the online TV platform, has appointed Alex Guest as new General Manager UK.
Alex has been working for Zattoo in London since the beginning of 2008 to bring new channels on board. His prior experience is in affinity partnerships and marketing.
Benoit Henry, Regional VP, said: “We are looking for Alex to put Zattoo at the heart of internet TV in the UK and to make the country a core part of Zattoo.”
Alex Guest said: “Unlike other online TV players, Zattoo believes people like their programmes scheduled, so they can make a Friday night date with Gordon Ramsay over on Channel 4. Our success in other European countries sets a high bar for us in the UK. I’m up for the challenge.”
