LiveU Hires Sports Industry Veteran Doug Price

LiveU, a provider of live video streaming and remote production solutions, has added Doug Price to its expanding sports team. He brings more than 25 years of media experience and leads sales and account management initiatives in the Central U.S. region.

Price joins LiveU from CHESA Systems, a systems integration company covering the Central and Rocky Mountain states. He began his career working in broadcast sports as an associate producer for his local ABC Affiliate, then moved to the NBC affiliate as senior editor for a 6:30 p.m. news magazine.

He left broadcast for the corporate production world, which led him to Tempe, Ariz., where he won several national awards for his work on commercials and infomercials.

Price started working for Avid in 2005, where he was a sales manager then director of sales for the company’s sports business.

“We’re beyond excited to welcome Doug to our growing sales team. Doug is well-respected in the industry and brings a wealth of knowledge from his many years in the sports production world,” said Mike Savello, LiveU VP of Sales, Americas. “Doug will play a vital role in driving the LiveU value proposition in sports and the adoption of our solutions for affordable and seamless remote productions.”
