He consistently drives the integration of technological innovation with operational excellence – across studio, live, and outside broadcast operations alike.
René Steinbusch holds a Master of Science in Economics from the University of Cologne and a Master’s degree in Sports Science from the German Sport University Cologne. His extensive industry experience, combined with a sharp eye for economic and structural developments, makes him a key leadership figure within the global group.
