Joseph Markowski is an expert in all things business management. Best known in his role as Executive Vice President at DAZN, Joe deals with a number of pivotal objectives in order to keep the business functioning. He devotes his time to overseeing communications, market strategy, rightsholder activation, marketing and partnerships. In 2018 Joe was at the forefront of the commercial launch of DAZN in America. DAZN is a sports streaming service where consumers can watch both live and on-demand sport without cable or satellite dishes. With Joe’s business expertise the streaming service quickly established a firm fan base, becoming a leading player in the media landscape.

DAZN soon gained a reputation for streaming fighting sports such as boxing. One of the most prominent boxing upsets was streamed by DAZN, the Anthony Joshua vs. Andy Ruiz JR fight, which placed the streaming service at the forefront of the sports media talk. Combat sports are usually placed within a pay-per-view format, which can cost fans a great deal to watch their favourite sport. Joe developed a strategic vision in order to challenge the pay-per-view format, allowing fans to pay an affordable price to stream hundreds of sporting events. DAZN quickly gained respect as the exclusive home of boxing stars such as Anthony Joshua, Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin. After gaining respect and a firm fan base in the sporting community, DAZN was able to expand into four other sports leagues in America.

Joe launched ChangeUp, a show which included live insight into 30 different teams. Joe was also fortunate to expand the streaming platform to Canada. In Canada, the service has managed to gain rights to plenty of admirable sporting competitions, such include La Liga, Serie A, Premier League, Champions League and the NFL. As well as Canada Joe has also worked to develop and expand the streaming platform in Japan.

Joe has devoted the past decade to developing and expanding DAZN. From a pioneering vision to a physical streaming platform, Joe has spent years making sure that his idea became a reality. DAZN has truly transformed the sports media landscape and has quickly established a reputation as one of the largest OTT sports broadcasters worldwide.
