Overtime, the sports digital-media startup whose backers include NBA star Kevin Durant, has recruited its first chief content officer: Marc Kohn, previously head of programming for Barstool Sports and Turner Sports’ Bleacher Report.
Kohn’s hire by the year-and-half-old Brooklyn company, which has focused on covering high-school athletes and teams, is part of Overtime’s strategy to boost its longer-form content slate and expand distribution deals.
Other execs Overtime has hired in the past several weeks include Alex Grant, head of sales and brand partnerships, who’s a former Snap and Twitter exec; chief strategy officer Anis Rashid, formerly with Wme Ventures and Goldman Sachs; and head of production Dave Zigerelli.
“As Overtime focuses on building the next great sports network, we are fortunate to bring on board folks like these, who have world-class experience but are still hungry and creative in reimagining how we cover sports,” co-founder and CEO Dan Porter said.
