VP of Operations
André Rievers is vice president of operations at OpenDrives, Inc., a global provider of media workflow solutions and data management capabilities. As a former executive and content creator with post-production experience and over two decades of content workflow and esports industry experience, he has successfully implemented customer-driven processes and streamlined operations for OpenDrives within the past two years.
Prior to joining OpenDrives, Rievers was head of post production at Activision Blizzard Esports, overseeing all digital and broadcast content for some of its most notable games including Overwatch League, Call of Duty League, Hearthstone, and World of Warcraft.
Rievers was instrumental in bringing OpenDrives’ media workflow solutions to Activision. In his own words: “I literally tried to ‘break’ it” during BlizzCon. Instead, OpenDrives’ system seamlessly powered hundreds of global broadcast streams across nine stages and 12 production trucks to 17 outlets in over 18 languages. As an OpenDrives’ fan, Rievers decided to join OpenDrives in 2021 and has been crucial in providing powerful user-perspective insights to influence the company’s product roadmap.
Rievers’ 25 years of deep industry experience also encapsulates senior positions at Univision Communications, Imagine Communications/Harris Broadcast, CNN, and The Weather Channel. His talent for streamlining processes and productions matches his passion and propensity to propel OpenDrives forward in enabling its impressive roster of production and live broadcast customers, including CBS Sports, Fox Sports, Los Angeles Kings, and many more, to create and deliver memorable, seamless content experiences.
