Maxdome appoints new boss

Ralf Bartoleit

ProSiebenSat.1 Digital’s co-managing director Ralf Bartoleit is taking the top job at video-on-demand service Maxdome in addition to his current duties.

ProSiebenSat.1 confirmed that Bartoleit will take over from Maxdome CEO Marvin Lange, who is leaving the company after four years.

Lange only recently became sole chief executive of ProSiebenSat.1 Media-owned Maxdome following an internal reshuffle that was announced in February.

He was previously co-CEO of Maxdome along with Filmon Zerai, but took full charge of the service when Zerai took the newly created role of chief digital officer at ProSiebenSat.1 TV Germany on March 1.

Bartoleit has held various management positions at ProSiebenSat.1 since 2005. His new joint role as CEO of Maxdome and co-MD at ProSiebenSat.1 Digital will see ProSiebenSat.1 more closely integrate the video site into its group-wide video and distribution strategy.
