Peter Hutton joined Eurosport as CEO in 2015, shortly after the pan-European broadcaster's acquisition by Discovery.

Since that point, Hutton has overseen the continued evolution of the Eurosport brand, its transition from old world European broadcast outpost to modern, global multimedia player, its ramp-up of rights acquisitions, including a landmark deal with the International Olympic Committee, and its continued forays into cutting edge distribution methods.

A commentator and journalist in his youth, Hutton has held a variety of production and executive roles at key sports media organisations across the world, including the BBC, Sky, IMG, Ten Sports, ESPN Star Sports, Fox Sports and MP & Silva.
