TEAM

Peter Sprogis - Chairman

Peter Sprogis has spent most of his career in the sponsorship and TV industry.

As the original founding member of Prisma Sports and Media, he headed the company's new business development group, marketing, new media and TV distribution and production operations - based in London.

More recently, he founded iVentures, a company which is dedicated to coordinating the Kirch Group's new media interests in sports - including those of Prisma Sports and Media as well as the FIFA World Cups of 2002 and 2006.

Formerly managing director of ISL Television in London, he was instrumental in building the distribution of the European Football Championship's international TV coverage, International Basketball Federation and the International Athletics Association to new all-time highs - as well as coordinating over 45 international world athletic competitions in over 30 countries.

He was the originator and chief negotiator of the successful $2.8 billion bid for FIFA World Cup's media rights with financial support from the Kirch Group. Eventually Kirch would become a major shareholder and supporter of Prisma and award Prisma the implementation of the distribution of the World Cup TV rights in Europe jointly with ISL.

Mr Sprogis grew up in Canada, where he established a Canadian high school record of 73 points in a single game. He came to London after completing university (almost) and started his own semi-professional team - the Embassy All Stars. When he retired aged 28 - as coach, manager, owner and player - he was the leading all-time scorer of the National League, Great Britain Olympic team and the England National Team.

From 1979-1983 he was the Marketing Officer of the English Basketball Association and Director of the National League. In 1983 he joined the West Nally Group, working on cricket, football, motor racing and general sponsor sales.

In 1984, he was headhunted by the Horst Dassler-owned, newly-formed ISL, initially working as worldwide manager of the International Amateur Athletic Federation's (IAAF) marketing and TV programming and then the International Basketball Federation's (IBF) world championships. In 1993 he was appointed vice-president of ISL Television and in 1994 managing director for Television and New Business. He left in 1996 to form Prisma.

He established iVentures in 1998 on the premise that most media companies, like Prisma, would become obsolete as new broadband and wireless distribution systems would ensure that content rights owners would be delivering direct to consumer. He conceived Worldzap as early as late 1997, imagining videos being sent to handheld devices - and this company has been a forerunner in identifying sports clips as a major new source of revenue for content owners.

Peter is also the inventor and owner of the following issued patents - 6,191,825, 6,320,495, 6,932,698, 7,298,271
