David Springall
YoSpace, CTO
David Springall founded Yospace, an innovator in Dynamic Ad Insertion across live OTT streams, in 1999. Originally focussed on the mobile applications industry, the company spearheaded the concept of user-generated content on mobile devices (pre-dating YouTube) and provided community mobile web sites for tier 1 operators across Europe.
Under David's technical leadership, Yospace launched a SaaS version of its video platform, yospaceCDS, in 2008. Working initially with publishers entering the online video market, the development led to adoption by major television broadcasters and service providers. He has led the company to its current position as the market leader in live stream manipulation, management and monetisation.
Today, Yospace services major network and providers throughout the world, including DIRECTV in the US, Sky, ITV, BT Sport, Channel 4 in the UK, BFMTV, TV4 in mainland Europe, Canal 13 in LatAm, and Seven and Network Ten in Australia.
