beIN sports

beIN Sports is part of beIN MEDIA Group - a global leader in TV production, distribution and media rights acquisition, a diversified sports and entertainment media company counting 55 M+ Pay TV subscribers and 30 M+ Social Media Fans and Followers.

In 2016, they needed to modernize and improve their live sports streaming website for mobile devices, whilst tailoring their content for a variety of audiences across a regional split.

I led the livestream websites (connect.beinsports.com) overhaul and international deployment and maintenance for beIN territories – France, MENA, USA and Canada.

I also led the UX design and development of new key features such as the On Demand and Replay pages.
