LiveXLive is a global platform for livestream and on-demand audio, video and podcast content in music, comedy and pop culture. It is the owner of PodcastOne, Slacker Radio and React Presents.

Quartieri replaces interim CFO Jerry Gold. Quartieri, of course, is well-known in gaming circles, having served as EVP and CFO at Scientific Games for the past five years.

Prior to his time with the supplier, Quartieri spent nine years with Las Vegas Sands, ending his tenure as SVP, chief accounting officer and global controller.

During his time at Las Vegas Sands, revenue grew from $2.24bn to $11.69bn and market capitalization grew to $36.4bn.

Quartieri holds a Master of Accounting and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Southern California and is a Certified Public Accountant.

“After an extensive review of LiveXLive, its product offerings and current positioning within the livestream, on-demand audio, video and podcast sectors, I believe the critical pieces are in place to build the company into a significant enterprise,” Quartieri said in a statement.

LiveXLive CEO and chairman Robert Ellin said: “Mike brings an exceptional track record to LiveXLive and is a renowned, and highly respected, executive within the gaming and entertainment industry; as well as among institutional investors and analysts.”
