Phillips will concentrate on expanding SportingRisk's current tier-one client base and achieving the company's expansion objectives.
About the role, Phillips said: “I’m thrilled to join SportingRisk as the business has unique data and innovative products that are extremely relevant to the current market. The team has developed an in-house database whilst working on the performance side of professional football and then battle-tested its predictive models over 8 years as a profitable betting syndicate.
“With those tools we can help operators continue to get value from their sports data, which is becoming increasingly expensive and complex to handle. We have tier-one clients already live and I’m really looking forward to getting out and talking to more operators in 2023.”
The new CCO has 15 years of experience working at the nexus of media, betting, technology and sports data. He has worked in commercial positions at Genius Sports and Nasdaq Inc. and served as a consultant for business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors in the sector.
Henry Newman, SportingRisk CEO, commented: “Andy brings a wealth of sports data and betting technology experience to the business as we look to deliver on our sales strategy in 2023. Our ability to present pricing and insights from one source is unique and will be a game-changer for operators looking to deliver truly engaging betting experiences.”
