New Chief for Tata Sky

MILAN: Paolo Agostinelli, currently the VP of partner channels, PPV and VOD at Sky Italia, is taking up the position of chief programming and business strategy officer for Tata Sky.

Agostinelli joined Sky in 2008. He will be reporting directly to the company CEO, Harit Nagpal. Tata Sky is currently the leading satellite pay TV on the Indian market, with more than 7 million customers. Agostinelli's move has led to new appointments within Sky Italia. Luca Revelli will be in charge of relations with partner channels, in addition to his current position as head of digital activities and special projects. Giovanni Uboldi will be leading the PPV and VOD offers. They will both report to Andrea Scrosati, the executive VP of programming.

Sky Italia's CEO, Andrea Zappia, stated: “I am pleased for Paolo as this is a significant professional opportunity and I want to thank him for his outstanding contribution to Sky’s growth. This appointment makes me proud because it shows that in Italy we are able to grow talents able to fill the most coveted and prestigious roles in other markets. It also demonstrates the tremendous value created from belonging to a successful global group such as 21st Century Fox. I am certain that Luca Revelli and Giovanni Uboldi will be able to carry forward the good work done so far, continuing to strengthen our offering and increase subscriber satisfaction.”
