Simply.TV's founders will begin to work alongside Dr. Krajicek, with Mr. Rühmann leading sales, business development and strategy, and Mr. Trolle spearheading the company's engineering efforts.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Krajicek to the team," said Mr. Trolle. "He brings a sales and operational mindset - as well as extensive experience scaling growth-stage businesses - to Simply.TV.

"Since the company's founding, Simply.TV has acquired and integrated complementary businesses, on boarded a variety of global media brands, and now expanded its presence in the U.S. I could not be more excited to join this team and lead the business through its next phase of growth."
