The Canadian sports industry executive will accelerate the OTT agency’s expansion in the region.

Today StreamAMG welcomes digital media veteran Mark Silver to the company as General Manager, North America. Silver will apply a decade’s experience in the sports industry to bring the OTT agency’s technology and expertise to the North American market.

Silver emerged as a leader for CTV’s digital efforts and its record-breaking streaming coverage as the Canadian broadcast rights holder of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. He was elevated to Head of Digital for CTV’s presentation of London 2012, overseeing an expansive streaming distribution offering. Following his Olympic success, Silver was appointed Head of Digital for ESPN's Canadian affiliate, TSN, where he transformed the digital business at the broadcaster, including the launch of its streaming service.

Prior to joining StreamAMG, Silver founded Stadium Digital where he licensed SaaS products to more than 100 professional and top amateur sports properties across North America. The company was wholly acquired by the Canadian Soccer Business where Silver became Chief Digital and Technology Officer for the inaugural season of the Canadian Premier League.

Mark Silver commented: “I’m thrilled to be joining StreamAMG. The company has a lot to offer North American sports and media properties, and I’m looking forward to being a key part of their expansion efforts.”
