With days to go before NAB 2023, Stein Erik Sørhaug, SVP Americas, at Vimond, joins the Faultline Podcast to discuss meme warfare, OTT consolidation, spy group side hustles, and we even broach the important but seldom-touched topic of developmental disorders and mental health.  If this isn’t a rollercoaster podcast, we don’t know what is.

Joining Tommy Flanagan on the Faultline Podcast this week – putting the X-factor in UX and the face in UI – it’s Pierre Donath, CPO/CMO at 3 Screen Solutions (3SS). Join us on a journey through the front door of video experiences and into the living room of Android TV, then buckle up for a ride into the future of in-vehicle infotainment.

Of course, we couldn’t sit down without touching on Gilboa’s stint spearheading the cloud-based telco TV transformation at Kaltura, preceded by a quick brief on Faultline’s latest antics outside the pod.

The Faultline Podcast welcomes a legend of video encoding to the microphone this week, as we sit down with Julien Signes, SVP and GM of Video Networks at Synamedia.
