CTO, M2A Media
Marcus established M2A Media in 2016 with co-founder Marina Kalkanis, to help global broadcasters and content publishers transition their video workflows to public cloud.
Innovators in broadcast technology, M2A Media enables OTT platforms, broadcasters and sports-rights owners, such as DAZN, ITV, Channel 4, BBC and BritBox to quickly and easily harness the flexible, scalable benefits of the cloud for live video via its smart orchestration tools and state-of-the-art streamhub. Last year, M2A delivered hundreds of thousands live events to over 80 countries, streaming more than 1 billion hours to millions of viewers concurrently.
Previously Head of Engineering in BBC Design & Engineering’s Platform & Common Services Division, Marcus was responsible for designing, building, maintaining and supporting the BBC’s media workflows. Projects included Media Factory, in which iPlayer’s entire VOD workflow was migrated to the AWS Cloud, and File Based Delivery in which the BBC’s tape-based linear workflows were migrated to file/IP.
