Hiring Announcement: Andy Phillips Joins Sporting Risk as Chief Commercial Officer
A New Hand in the Betting Game
Meet Andy Phillips, the seasoned pro who's just hopped on board at Sporting Risk, a big player in sports betting, forecasting, and analytics. He's been appointed as the company's new Chief Commercial Officer, set to supercharge their growth and expand their business operations.
Phillips Steps Up to the Plate
Phillips is pretty chuffed about his new gig, ready to channel more clients towards Sporting Risk's top-tier products. With over a decade and a half under his belt and stints at various media, betting tech, and sports data companies, he's more than qualified for the role.
Before joining Sporting Risk, Phillips put in over five years as an independent consultant. From 2019 to 2021, he served as Nasdaq's head of business development for sports and gaming. Prior to that, he held the position of commercial director at APSdata. One of Phillips' most noteworthy gigs, though, was his nine years at Genius Sports. He climbed the ranks there, developing skills that will now come in handy at Sporting Risk.
Finding New Fans
Phillips appreciates Sporting Risk's unique data and innovative products, praising the talent behind their cutting-edge solutions. These tools, he thinks, enable sports operators to squeeze even more value out of their data, a skill that's growing increasingly relevant and sought-after as data gets more complex.
What's more, he's thrilled about the company's existing partnerships with heavy hitters in sports betting and is looking forward to forging more deals with sportsbooks in 2023.
