Atlanta, Georgia, United States, October 2025 — PlayOn Sports today announced the appointment of Perkins Miller as Chief Executive Officer, marking a planned leadership transition for the company. David Rudolph, who founded and has led PlayOn for 17 years, will continue in a senior leadership role overseeing video streaming and sports analytics — the original foundation of the PlayOn platform.
Under Rudolph’s visionary leadership, PlayOn has grown into a national leader in sports technology, analytics, and media, supporting thousands of schools and millions of fans. His pioneering direction led to the transformative merger of PlayOn and GoFan, as well as the acquisition of MaxPreps, positioning the company as the premier fan engagement solution for high school athletics nationwide.
The company’s sustained growth and innovation have earned recognition from Deloitte Technology Fast 500, the Inc. 5000, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle Pacesetters, underscoring PlayOn’s consistent excellence in connecting communities through sports.
Perkins Miller brings over two decades of experience in consumer technology, media, and sports platforms. Most recently, he served as CEO of Fandom, where he scaled its audience to over 350 million users and diversified its product and revenue base. His earlier leadership roles at StubHub, the NFL, and WWE included spearheading major product launches such as the WWE Network, establishing him as a strategic leader skilled at building global fan engagement ecosystems.
“PlayOn sits at the intersection of sports, technology, and community,” said Miller. “I’m honored to join this talented team and work alongside David to build on the company’s strong foundation, driving growth, deepening partnerships, and delivering even greater value to schools, fans, and athletes nationwide.”
The leadership transition comes amid strong momentum for PlayOn. In recent years, the company has made significant investments in technology, partnerships, and operations, setting the stage for expansion across streaming, ticketing, and media. With a strengthened leadership team, PlayOn is poised to accelerate innovation, advance product excellence, and scale its national impact.
“After an incredible experience of leading this company for 17 years as CEO, now is the right time to transition leadership while I deepen my focus on continuing to advance our industry-leading streaming and analytics solutions,” said David Rudolph, Founder and Head of Streaming and Analytics at PlayOn Sports. “The company is well-positioned for continued growth and innovation, and I am excited to focus my role on the areas where I can make the greatest impact. I could not be more confident in Perkins as the right leader to take PlayOn into its next chapter.”
“This is a significant addition to our leadership team,” added Rudolph. “Perkins brings the experience and perspective that will help unify our business and guide PlayOn to the next level by creating amazing experiences for high school fans.”
