“These external hires are a clear sign of our intent – as we continue to grow and deliver on our mission to make in-demand content accessible to all, particularly off the back of the NBA League Pass launch and our growth on the African continent.

“Equally as important are our internal promotions. We take pride in growing our own at PM Connect – and seeing hard work from the team being rewarded is hugely satisfying.
