Christo Gabriel

Christo Gabriel, the visionary founder of Phoenix Innovations, has been a driving force in the broadcast industry for over 22 years. Under his leadership, Phoenix Innovations has expanded to serve over 3,000 TV channels across 70+ countries, revolutionizing the way audiences interact with media. Christo’s journey began in high school, where he developed his first computer game and continued through college, where he founded Phoenix Innovations to challenge traditional, one-sided broadcasting.

His founding principle, “Why should TV be one-sided?” led him to create one of the industry’s earliest interactive video jukeboxes for cable TV, allowing viewers to select songs using their phone keypads. This innovation paved the way for Channel Studio Pro (CSP), a groundbreaking broadcast solution now trusted by broadcasters worldwide.

With his latest venture, Funwire, Christo merges the power of interactive gameshows, mobile gaming, and live TV to create an innovative platform for social entertainment that redefines audience engagement. Funwire’s live games, including the popular live Thumbola game and other live multiplayer games, offer a fresh, community-driven approach to entertainment. This free online gaming platform combines live game shows and multiplayer mobile games in an exciting and interactive format, transforming how people experience gaming.

Beyond his technical achievements, Christo is also a dedicated philanthropist. His organ donation campaign, supported by a custom-built app generating donor certificates, has inspired thousands to pledge their support for cadaver organ donation, amplifying a vital cause.
