Ian Wray, a sports data expert, has joined Genius Sports to help lead football expansion.
Wray, a sports data expert, will be in charge of Genius' agreements with many of the world's top football leagues, including the English Premier League, Argentine Football Association, and Liga MX.
He comes to the company from ChyronHego, where he oversaw global sales for its sports-data-focused Tracab division for the previous nine years.
In that capacity, Wray collaborated directly with the majority of major football leagues and federations worldwide to deploy data monitoring, coaching, and fan engagement technologies.
Wray stated, "I'm extremely happy to be joining Genius Sports at this critical juncture in the company's development. The market for official sports data and video content continues to grow rapidly.
"I'm, therefore, very much looking forward to helping Genius Sports leverage its existing technology portfolio, as well as its impressive recent acquisitions, to deliver even greater value across the whole spectrum of stakeholders within the world of football."
Genius Sports expects that Wray's knowledge in official sports statistics would help the company expand.
"Ian is a true expert in monetizing official data to create the most relevant and entertaining products for fans, coaches, broadcasters, and other key stakeholders. "Our global football business has grown significantly in recent years, and Ian is the ideal candidate to take it to the next level," said Jack Davison, CCO of Genius Sports.
This is Genius Sports' latest aggressive move in recent days and months.
The data technology company has joined with Penn Interactive Gaming to power its Barstool sportsbook and with 888 for its new SI sportsbook.
