Strengthening our support to investors in TMT, sport and media

As sport continues to grow in scale and complexity as a global media and entertainment ecosystem, assessing value and driving growth is becoming increasingly nuanced – particularly where rights, distribution and digital monetisation are central to the investment case.

To further strengthen OC&C’s extensive work with investors across TMT, sport and media, we’ve brought in Sameer Pabari as an expert Senior Advisor.

Sameer supports our work with PE clients and corporate clients across commercial diligence of media and rights-driven businesses, evaluation of growth and monetisation strategies, and shaping value creation plans post-acquisition, bringing an operator’s perspective to each.

Sameer has worked at the intersection of sports, media and technology for 20 years, holding leadership positions at the NFL, Warner Bros. Discovery and Manchester United. During this time he has developed deep expertise in building global fandom, scaling direct-to-consumer businesses, international growth strategy and leveraging technology for new product development.

Working closely with our teams across Europe and US, Sameer combines hands-on experience with OC&C’s analytical approach to support investors across the deal lifecycle.

To discuss perspectives on these sectors or any current opportunities, please reach out to Sameer directly.
