Frank Mathys is a technology leader who has spent his career making sure innovation actually lands — in the newsroom, on the broadcast floor, and in the living rooms of millions of viewers. As CTO of DPG Media, one of Belgium & The Netherlands leading audiovisual and digital media groups, Frank oversees the technical strategy behind platforms that connect audiences to news, entertainment and live content every day. His work spans broadcast infrastructure, streaming, and digital transformation — with a constant focus on building systems that are robust enough for today and flexible enough for tomorrow. What sets Frank apart is his grounded approach to technology: not chasing every trend, but identifying what genuinely moves the needle for media organisations navigating a fast-changing landscape. Beyond the architecture and the roadmaps, Frank is equally engaged with a challenge the industry can no longer afford to ignore: attracting and developing tech talent into the audiovisual media sector. He believes that closing the gap between technology professionals and media organisations is as critical as any platform investment — and that building the right teams is what will ultimately determine who shapes the future of the industry. He speaks today as someone who has done the work, learned from it, and is genuinely invested in where the field goes next.
