Oliver Koch is Managing Director, Commercial and Founder of Qvest Engage. For nearly two decades, he has worked at the intersection of media, technology, and digital transformation. His focus is on helping broadcasters, platform operators, and media companies turn new technologies, changing audience behavior, and evolving distribution models into sustainable growth and new business opportunities.

In 2006, Oliver co-founded TeraVolt, now Qvest Engage. What began with digital TV products, second-screen applications, and early OTT services has grown into a specialized partner for streaming platforms, digital products, and audience engagement. Today, Oliver is responsible for commercial strategy, business development, and the expansion of strategic client relationships.

Oliver is also Co-Founder of the Beyond Platforms Initiative. The initiative explores the future of media platforms, distribution, and digital value creation in a market increasingly shaped by global platforms, algorithms, and changing audience habits. Together with leaders from media, technology, strategy, and regulation, it creates a space to discuss the next stage of digital media markets.

Before becoming an entrepreneur, Oliver contributed to the development of the marketing organizations at blau Mobilfunk and Hapag-Lloyd Express. The experience he gained in brand building, customer acquisition, and digital growth continues to shape his perspective on the media industry today: Technology creates value when it expands reach, strengthens audience relationships, and enables new revenue models.
