Live Media Group Appoints VP, Strategic Accounts

Live Media Group has named Ryan Hatch as Vice President, Strategic Accounts, effective April 1st.

In this role, Hatch will focus on client engagement, business development, and operational strategy, reporting to Michael Sullivan, President, Live Media.

"This marks an important step in our growth," Sullivan said. "Ryan's extensive experience in remote sports broadcasting and his proven ability fostering strong industry relationships make him an important addition to our team. As we continue expanding our presence in the sports and entertainment markets, Ryan’s leadership will play a key role in enhancing our live event capabilities and delivering the absolute best broadcast solutions to our clients."

Hatch brings more than two decades of expertise in revenue generation, strategic planning, and client engagement to his new role. He joins Live Media Group from NEP Group, where he worked as Vice President, Engineering & Operations, U.S. Broadcast Services. During this time, Hatch oversaw operations, engineering, scheduling, transportation, and facility management. He focused on managing project teams, technical specialists, and logistics while ensuring seamless scheduling and operations for mobile units and production facilities. Prior to his time at NEP, Hatch served as Director of Operations for Mobile TV Group and was responsible for coordinating mobile broadcast units and engineering staff for more than 4,200 sporting events in North America and Canada.

Hatch said: "Live Media Group is a people-centric organisation that's focused on a positive work culture across the board. When you have a team that’s passionate about what they do, that energy translates directly into the client experience. The company is growing, innovating, and pushing boundaries in live production, and that's something I absolutely want to be part of. It's my belief that a company's success is achieved by the hard work and dedication of its people."

Hatch joins Live Media Group as the company continues its expansion in the sports and entertainment markets—highlighted by major upgrades to its production truck fleet and the addition of new production control rooms at its Nashville office, home to its TNDV entertainment division. Last year, Live Media Group introduced GameTime Productions, which provides clients with a dedicated team of professionals for fully produced live events.
