B2B video streaming solutions firm Aferian has announced the appointment of VideoTech Innovation Award-winning executive Steve Oetegenn as the president of the Americas. 

Oetegenn, who has been a non-executive director at the company since January 2021, will also serve as the president of Aferian’s subsidiaries 24i and Amino. He will oversee strategic business development in North, South and Central America.

The exec previously served as president of Verimatrix, COO of MediaSet Technologies and COO of Argus Systems Group. He was also recognised at Digital TV Europe’s VideoTech Innovation Awards in 2020, being awarded with a Lifetime Achievement award for his contributions to the industry during his storied career. 

Donald McGarva, CEO of Aferian said: “Few people know our industry as well as Steve Oetegenn. He has been providing us with invaluable insight and expertise in a consultancy capacity since joining our board in early 2021. Steve knows our business and strategy inside and out and that makes him the ideal person to help shape our efforts in the Americas, a key growth region for both 24i and Amino.”

Steve Oetegenn, President of the Americas for Aferian said: “There is enormous potential for both 24i and Amino in the Americas where demand for innovative, high-quality and cost-effective streaming technologies remains high among both content owners and pay TV operators. I’m excited to take on a more strategic role working with the great teams 24i and Amino already have in the region to seize that opportunity.”
