For the President of Agile Content, Hernán Scapusio, it is essential to have good corporate governance and a reinforced board to face the challenges of the future in a sector with significant growth forecasts. “I want to thank Aloysio Junqueira for his contributions to the board and welcome Carmen Fernández de Alarcón. Her experience, trajectory and knowledge will provide a complementary vision on the board, which in the face of the reconfiguration of hybrid payment and advertising offers will mark the evolution of OTT.”
The incorporation of Carmen Fernández de Alarcón is added to the recent incorporation of other relevant people in the industry as directors and managers, such as José Antonio López (Ericsson), Nuno Carvalho (Cisco) or Alfredo Redondo (Alcatel/Lucent).
