Gordon Castle is appointed SVP Technology at Eurosport, part of the ever expanding Discovery Communications business. Gordon was previously CTO at Turner Broadcasting and latterly ran the media strategy team at Ericsson in Sweden before relocating to Paris for this critical transformational leadership role.
The acquisition of Eurosport by Discovery Communications resulted in the combined goal of revitalising and revolutionising sports coverage across Europe and beyond. Discovery sees enormous potential in Eurosport and has the financial firepower and strategic vision to reach these goals. Eurosport has recently delivered its first Olympics coverage at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang following the deal to secure TV rights two years ago. The business is undergoing a significant shift in the way it creates and delivers outstanding content across multiple media channels.
