Who's Behind the Blog?
I'm Yannick Manuel Ramcke and heading the OTT Streaming - Business at OneFootball — one of the world's leading digital football platforms. In 2017, I launched OFFTHEFIELDNUSINESS.de to share my ideas, opinions, and viewpoints on what is going at the intersection of "Sports, Finance, Technology & Media.” Much of the same content can be found on Twitter (@YannickRamcke) in a more snackable form and fashion. For professional updates, please follow me on LinkedIn. Occasionally, you might also stumble across some of my content in third-party publications, as seen below. In one form or another, feel free to get in touch—I'm always up for "talking shop."
