“fuboTV is committed to raising the bar in user engagement and experience across our live TV streaming platform, and today’s appointments underscore this investment in our subscribers,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO at fuboTV. “With the additions of Erik and David to our world-class executive team, we are in an even stronger position to build for the future.”
