In Episode 4 of Playback Pioneers, Bleuenn Le Goffic (VP Business Transformation at Accedo) takes the mic to grill Patrick Costello (Senior Director, Business Development at Qualcomm) on what it really takes to push media forward in a tech-first but trust-starved world.
This one dives deep into:
Why XR is more than a gimmick
Where AI is changing the rules for sports and video
The value of audience trust in a hype-filled industry
And the personal stuff too: including what Patrick would call the reality TV show based on his career (you’ll either cringe or clap)
