Improving Your Focus

14. Christopher
Lo Presti
Have you ever had the feeling of wanting to watch
something, but your cable provider doesn't have it, or your
IP address does not let you enjoy the content you want? This
was my experience when growing up on the island, trying to watch the
different soccer leagues around the world. That's why I made my goal to help and find new
ways to limit this inconvenience for the 44 million fans across the US, and it's growing
population. I have helped connect services like ESPN+, FuboTV, and beIN Sports Extra with
different partners to make my goal into a reality. This has helped increase ad revenue,
helped get more specific data on the fans and, most importantly, connect fans of the sports
with their favorite leagues, but also new ones.
