E176: Stephen Nuttall

Steve Nuttall is one of the true pioneers of sport media and technology, working within some of the biggest companies in the world including notably, leading YouTube’s sport and UK business and managing the Google owned business’s relationships with major rights holders such as the IOC, FIFA and UEFA. 

Nuttall has also held leadership positions within Sky Sports, Telepiu (now Sky Italia), and Sportal, the early darlings of the first tech boom. Before that he was commercial director of ENIC under Daniel Levy. He’s a board member of Ofcom and managing director of the America’s Cup sailing race. 

For everyone interested in sport’s value as a media product, this was a great opportunity to have a conversation about how we got here, and what that tells us about where we’re going.
