Amagi appoints industry veteran Emma Whitmore to head EMEA sales

Amagi, a cloud-based SaaS technology solutions provider for broadcast and streaming TV, has appointed Emma Whitmore as its new Senior Vice President of Sales, EMEA. Emma brings over two decades of experience in strategic leadership roles across the media and technology landscape, with a focus on partner-led growth, customer-centric innovation, and industry collaboration.

Emma’s appointment marks a milestone as Amagi aims to strengthen its customer base across Europe and the Middle East. Last year, Amagi acquired Tellyo, which creates and produces engaging live events and social media content, and business expansion in Europe. These developments underscore Amagi’s intent to deliver cloud-native solutions to content owners, broadcasters, and streaming platforms throughout EMEA.
