Stuart Bishop
Founder and CEO
Katapy
Stuart Bishop is the Founder and CEO of Katapy, a media technology company transforming how broadcasters, networks, publishers, sports organizations, and content owners manage, distribute, monetize, and grow their media businesses.
With more than 40 years of experience in technology, telecommunications, and media infrastructure, Stuart has spent his career designing and delivering complex technology platforms at scale. His background includes senior leadership and consulting roles supporting Fortune 500 organizations and telecommunications environments serving hundreds of millions of users.
Recognizing early that the future of television would move toward internet-based, direct-to-consumer distribution, Stuart founded Katapy with a simple objective: make sophisticated broadcast and streaming technology easier to deploy, operate, and scale.
Today, Katapy provides an integrated media operating platform that brings together video content management, live streaming and DVR, broadcast master control, linear and FAST channel creation, OTT applications, global video delivery, advertising and SSAI, subscriptions, pay-per-view, audience management, AI-driven automation, and real-time analytics.
Under Stuart’s leadership, Katapy has supported more than 1,500 channels and worked with media brands and organizations including REELZ+, Court TV, Amplify Media, KNEKT TV, and DieuTV. The platform enables content to reach audiences across Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, iOS, Android, web, and traditional broadcast environments.
Stuart is particularly focused on the convergence of broadcast, streaming, cloud infrastructure, automation, and artificial intelligence. He believes the next generation of media will not simply replace traditional television with streaming apps—it will create an intelligent, automated media ecosystem where content can move seamlessly from ingest through production, distribution, monetization, and audience engagement.
His approach to technology reflects the philosophy behind Katapy itself: eliminate unnecessary complexity, automate wherever possible, and give media companies the technology and control they need without forcing them to assemble and manage dozens of disconnected systems.
Everything You Need. One Platform.
