Pascal Santi becomes Chief Operating Officer at Ringier Sports
Pascal Santi will assume the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer starting in January 2025 and will join CEO Alexander Grimm and CCO Stephan Wullschleger on the Ringier Sports Executive Board. In this role, he will assume operational responsibility for the Red.Sport Network Unit—with a focus on the Swiss market—as well as the «Operations & Production» and «Social & Content» divisions.
Pascal Santi joins from Blue Entertainment, where he was most recently Head of Media Sales & Sponsoring. In this position, he was responsible for all advertising marketing and sponsorship activities for Blue+ as well as the development of new advertising and sponsorship offers for TV, digital and cinema that were tailored to customer needs. Previously, the 45-year-old from Zurich held various positions in marketing for the Swiss Football League, Amag, SRG SSR and Credit Suisse. Santi studied Business Communications and Sports Management.
"Pascal Santi will primarily represent our RED+ streaming and data offering to the sports associations, our partners and the advertising market," says Alexander Grimm, CEO Ringier Sports and Red.Sport Network. "Due to the Red+ expansion into Germany and Austria, the expansion of the management board is a logical and necessary adjustment to our structures. I am very much looking forward to working with Pascal and the team."
