NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stringr, creator of the world’s largest video SaaS platform for journalism, entertainment, ecommerce, and content development, today announced that Simon Schatzmann has joined the company as VP of Sales.

Previously serving as Chief Revenue Officer for Agora Brands Group, Schatzmann brings to Stringr his long and extensive sales experience, including roles with Viacom, Conde Nast, Intellectsoft, Imagination Park Entertainment, and others.

At Stringr he will be tasked with two core missions: 1) continuing the company’s impressive growth among the most influential broadcasters and media companies in the world; and 2) making fresh inroads into the Entertainment, Corporate, and eCommerce sectors in which Stringr’s SaaS technology offers proven value.
