Noel Quinn has been appointed as Head of GAAGO, a newly created role within the live and on-demand streaming business, after an open recruitment process.
The appointment was confirmed this afternoon by the Board of the Joint Venture between the GAA and RTÉ.
A native of Donegal, Noel takes up the role with immediate effect and will lead the OTT platform into its next growth stage, having only recently entered the domestic sports broadcast market for the first time, at both home and abroad.
