Fischer Joins SoundStack As VP
• SoundStack, the audio-as-a-service (AaaS) company, announced the appointment of Michael Fischer as Vice President of Business Development. The appointment bolsters SoundStack’s growing publisher discipline — which also includes customer enablement, support, and podcast business teams — with a further focus on broadcast audio enterprises, including NPR member stations.
Fischer joins the SoundStack team after nearly seven years as EVP of Business Development with mobile application provider AirKast, where he guided broadcasters, podcasters, and independent audio companies on content and sales strategies. His varied experience also includes 4+ years at Triton Digital as SVP of Engagement, and he was also Director of Business Development at RAIN (Radio and Internet News). In his new role with SoundStack, Fischer will first focus on a range of broadcast audio enterprises in the U.S. while also spearheading the development of global markets.
“With years of experience in multiple ends of the audio ecosystem — from mobile, to enterprise tech platforms, to renowned communications companies — Michael brings tremendous knowledge that will make it easier for an array of streaming businesses to grow,” stated Rockie Thomas, CRO of SoundStack. “He’s a perfect addition to the team as we continue to work with publishers who understand how partnering with an independent tech platform will open them up to more choices and, in turn, more listeners and streaming/podcast revenue.”
An all-encompassing tech platform, SoundStack, the parent company of Live365, combines podcast/streaming audio hosting/delivery, monetization, and insights in one place. Advertising and publisher partners on or off “the stack” can also buy and sell audio ads programmatically in the SoundStack Marketplace.
