Ostmodern appoints Sky’s David Crawford as COO

OTT and video specialist, Ostmodern, has hired former Sky and Camelot executive David Crawford as Chief Operating Officer. With more than 25 years’ experience, Crawford will drive strategic growth for Ostmodern as it expands its operations.

Crawford joins Ostmodern from Camelot Global, where he served as Interim Chief Technology Officer.  Prior to Camelot, Crawford headed up Sky’s Software Engineering team, and was reportedly responsible for implementing a digital-first programme to ramp up online sales and services.

“I’m excited to be joining Ostmodern at such a key time in the company’s history,” commented Crawford. “Ostmodern’s design-led approach to video products makes it one of the most bold and innovative companies to work for, and I’m looking forward to helping it grow.”

Crawford’s appointment is the latest hire for Ostmodern, which appointed Commercial Director, Stuart Ferreira-Cole, and Head of Sports Partnerships, Heather Taylor in 2017.

“We’re honoured to have David Crawford join the team,” added Tom Williams, CEO and co-founder, Ostmodern. “David has a wealth of experience leading teams, developing innovative technologies and driving business growth, and we’re delighted to be working with him to expand Ostmodern’s offering.”
