    Amagi gets a Whitmore boost as cloud ambitions stream into EMEA

    MUMBAI: Call it a cloud with a silver lining Amagi has just added some serious firepower to its global stream team. In a move that signals renewed focus on European and Middle Eastern markets, cloud-led broadcast tech company Amagi has appointed Emma Whitmore as its senior vice president of sales, EMEA. With over 20 years of industry expertise, Emma steps in to steer Amagi’s next phase of partner-led growth, regional expansion, and content innovation.

    Known for her sharp eye on industry collaboration and customer-centric strategy, Emma’s appointment comes at a time when cloud-first broadcasting is more than just a buzzword, it’s a business imperative. She will report to Amagi EVP, global SaaS sales, Dan Marshall, and work closely with partners and platforms across the region to scale Amagi’s suite of broadcast and streaming solutions.

    “I’m excited to join at a time of rapid growth and innovation across EMEA. This is a unique opportunity to work even more closely with our customers, expand our local presence, and ensure we’re delivering solutions that truly reflect the needs of today’s broadcasters and content owners,” said Amagi SVP of sales for EMEA Emma Whitmore.

    “Emma brings a combination of deep industry expertise and focus on execution,” said Dan Marshall, EVP, Global SaaS Sales Amagi. “As we continue scaling across EMEA, her leadership will be pivotal in expanding our regional impact, strengthening partner relationships, and delivering even greater value to our customers.”

    Her appointment follows Amagi’s acquisition of Tellyo and strategic investments in Europe, highlighting the company’s intent to become the go-to partner for live events, digital-first content, and scalable streaming tech across multiple markets.

    Sri Hari Thirunavukkarasu, who led sales for Amagi in the EMEA region for over a decade, will be relocating to the company headquarters in India to drive strategic initiatives at the CEO’s office. “It has been a memorable stint building the Amagi footprint in Europe, and working very closely with customers to drive cloud adoption and business transformation,” said Sri Hari. “With the appointment of a seasoned industry professional like Emma, I am fully confident that our customers and partners in the region are in good hands and will benefit from her customer-first approach.”

    Emma’s influence extends beyond the boardroom. She contributes to the UK Government’s Future of TV working group, sits on the Digital TV Group Council, and has been part of TM Forum’s innovation work on media sustainability. When not transforming media strategies, she’s mentoring women in tech or coaching youth hockey making her as impactful off the field as on it.

    As Emma steps in, Sri Hari Thirunavukkarasu, who has led Amagi’s EMEA growth for over a decade, will relocate to India to join the CEO’s office and lead strategic initiatives.

    Emma, alongside the Amagi leadership, will be present at MPTS 2025, ready to write the next chapter in Amagi’s global cloud journey, one that’s sure to be bold, seamless, and powered by serious streaming smarts.

    Amagi signs a definitive agreement to acquire Tellyo’s business

    Mumbai: Amagi, the global leader in cloud-based SaaS technology for broadcast and connected TV, has announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the business of Tellyo, a leading real-time live cloud remote production, clipping/editing, and social sharing platform. This development is set to enhance Amagi’s video toolset for live sports and news broadcasts and improve live video streaming and editing experience for customers worldwide.

    Tellyo empowers media and content teams to produce compelling live videos that can be streamed to multiple digital and social media destinations using Stream Studio. The company enables branded video clips, highlights, and compilations to be created and published to channels simultaneously and instantly, from anywhere, all with one click. Tellyo also helps deliver high-quality web conferences, events, and presentations in real-time that bring external contributors and commentators into productions from multiple devices. Using Tellyo, athletes, actors, sponsors, ambassadors, and influencers amplify their reach and engagement across social media.

    Amagi’s co-founder & CEO Baskar Subramanian said, “We are excited about the opportunities this acquisition presents for Amagi. Tellyo brings a wealth of expertise, a strong team, and innovative products that align perfectly with our strategic vision of being a frontrunner in the cloud-based live broadcast technology space. Together, we will not only enrich Amagi’s product offerings, but also bring investments in the Eastern European region and create new possibilities for local talent and global customers.”

    Tellyo CEO Richard Collins expressed his optimism for the future: “This move is a testament to our commitment in delivering outstanding value to our customers, employees and investors. We believe that joining forces with Amagi will provide us with the resources and scale to reach new heights. We are excited about the potential of what both our companies can offer.”

    “We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for Tellyo’s clients, employees, and partners during this exciting phase. Our collective team is energized and ready to embark on this journey, leveraging our shared values, vision, and passion for excellence.” said Amagi co-founder & chief revenue officer Srinivasan KA.

    With this agreement, Amagi expands its footprint in Europe. Earlier last year, Amagi had set up its development center in Croatia, its first outside India. By bringing together Tellyo’s product development center in Poland and Amagi’s technology centers in India and Croatia, Amagi expects to drive cloud innovation in the region in an accelerated manner.
