The transition follows six years of leadership under Segre, who steered the company through a period of portfolio consolidation. The board selected Gerstl for his intimate involvement in shaping the current business strategy and his track record of securing high-profile customer wins with operators such as BFBS, MTN, and YES. His tenure has already been marked by the launch of the Senza Ignite platform and the GO Shorts content initiative.
