EMPLOYMENT
Conrad had more than 20 years of experience in transactional sports rights at both the major professional leagues and at media companies. He personally had negotiated hundreds of agreements across multiple sports genres for both US and international markets.
He came to Sportradar from Univision where he was most recently Executive Vice President, Sports Programing and Acquisitions. His role there required him to build the network’s sports rights portfolio by securing partnerships with leagues and properties around the world including Fédération Internationale De Football Association (FIFA), Union of European Football Associations or UEFA, Concacaf, Conmebol and Major League Soccer.
Before working at Univision, Conrad served in various roles within ESPN’s Programming and Acquisition team and held media rights and sponsorship sales positions with Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association.
"When we see the numbers globally, in 2022 Major League Baseball was fourth globally — and that's in a World Cup year. In a non-World-Cup year, it would be the third property globally. There's tremendous interest" Eric Conrad
