10. 8. 2022 | 7 min read CME Media Group CEO Didier Stoessel is one of the most influential figures in the domestic media business. The former investment banker with experience at HSBC and Merril Lynch is the top executive chosen by the PPF Group two years ago to bring the newly acquired CME Media Group back to the limelight. And Stoessel hasn’t held back at all - he has pulled creative producers and developers on his side („Having good content and a way to deliver it - that’s the name of the game these days“), hired triple the number of studios and is spending hundreds of millions on content production.

However, Stoessel still faces a number of challenges: competition in the market („Even though our biggest competition is sleep - that’s six to seven hours a day when you’re not consuming our content“), the economic slowdown or the steady decline in viewership of linear broadcasting.
