Profile

Hi! My name is Oliver Strässle and I'd like to introduce myself to you.

I am a Media Engineer, Sales and Presales Manager, Projekt Manager, ...

In more than 20 years in various national and international commercial and technical sales positions in the media industry, I have successfully managed both customer relationships and personnel responsibilities.

I am a sales professional with advanced expertise in enterprise-class hardware and software sales, SaaS cloud solutions and professional services, as well as team, project and delivery management.

My in-depth knowledge in many areas of media production and distribution (linear TV, VOD, streaming, OTT, ...) enables me to recognize correlations and optimize processes where necessary.

As an expert in workflows and the collaboration of IT and software-based systems for automated media processing and management from recording to broadcast (on prem and in the cloud), I can provide my clients with expert advice.

I have experience in building structures and organisations in growing start-up companies. Hands-on mentality. Self-taught.

I am able to communicate appropriately with customers and employees at all levels of the organisation.
