Our CEO, Tassilo Raesig, was recently featured in the first episode of Season 5 of the OTTRED Spotlight Podcast.

In this candid and thought-provoking conversation, Tassilo sits down with Chris Redmond to discuss MainStreaming’s vision of making premium video content seamless, scalable, and globally accessible, while keeping quality and sustainability at the core.

A Deep Dive into MainStreaming’s Mission and Ambition

After more than six years helping shape the OTT landscape in the DACH region with Joyn, Tassilo brings invaluable insight into the challenges that broadcasters and media companies face today. In the podcast, he shares how these experiences now fuel his mission at MainStreaming: to tackle the complexity of large-scale streaming, deliver a high-quality experience at predictable cost, and expand a solution that’s already thriving in Italy to a global stage.

Tassilo talks about what ignites his passion at MainStreaming: our relentless drive for innovation, smart orchestration at the edge, and an unwavering commitment to performance. For him, it’s all about taking a proven approach and scaling it internationally, helping media companies meet ever-growing demand while ensuring subscribers see the ball on the screen, especially when millions are watching at once.

A Solution Designed for Local Challenges and Global Scale

In the episode, Tassilo explains how MainStreaming’s unique business model puts collaboration at its core: working with ISPs and broadcasters to solve local delivery challenges, while building a robust ecosystem of trusted partners.

From a European foundation, our model is now expanding into the MENA region and beyond, offering a flexible, fully managed CDN-as-a-Service (CDNaaS) that requires no huge upfront investment. It’s a technically and commercially compelling approach: regional where it matters, scalable where it counts.

And it’s not just about quality and scale, but also about sovereignty and sustainability. With privacy regulations like GDPR top of mind, we’re committed to protecting our customers’ data while delivering exceptional performance. Plus, we’re proud to run a carbon-neutral network, minimizing the power footprint of video delivery and offsetting what we can’t reduce, because the future of streaming must be sustainable too.

Leadership Built on Trust and Team

The conversation also gives a glimpse into Tassilo’s leadership philosophy: empowering teams rather than micromanaging them, ensuring they have the right funding and talent to deliver their best. It’s an approach that’s helping us build momentum, with strong proof points ahead in the next 24 months and growing trust from customers like DAZN who rely on us to deliver streaming at scale, when it matters most.
