HOOQ has appointed Michael D’Oliveiro as the company’s Country Manager for Singapore. In his new role, he will be responsible for managing the market and will focus on expansion through customer acquisition, retention, and key partnerships at Asia's first premium video-on-demand service to launch across the region.

“With his over 18 years of diverse experience in the broadcast and telecommunications industry, we are sure that (Michael) will uncover new business opportunities here,” said CEO of HOOQ Peter Bithos.

Most recently, D’Oliveiro worked for Telstra in Australia where he developed, launched and managed their first B2B portfolio of online video products outside of the country. He was also responsible for onboarding and managing key partners, and held global profit and loss responsibilities working with customers from as far as the UK to Australia and Singapore, building an extensive view of market needs and challenges, especially in the Asia Pacific region.

Before joining Telstra, Michael was part of the core consumer product management team at pay-TV leader Astro in Malaysia, where he helped develop and manage its early OTT products. He eventually went on to manage both set-top box and OTT SVOD products. He has also been invited to serve on Akamai's global media customer advisory board.

Born in Singapore, D’Oliveiro grew up in Melbourne, Australia where he studied film and TV.
