Hanno Basse, Chief Technology Officer
Basse manages the Fox Innovation Lab in partnership with Danny Kaye. His priority is to drive innovation for Fox’s products from concept to distribution, believing that innovation will continue to be a driving force for digital growth. He sees the need to tell great stories in meaningful ways to audiences worldwide, taking into account how technology advancements influence consumer behavior.

He notes that fragmentation and piracy permeates everything — the market for distribution, content offerings available to consumers and, therefore, the audience that can be aggregated around specific content. Basse recognizes that choice and new technology offerings are great for consumers, but that Fox must ensure its products have a meaningful impact in the marketplace.
