A worldwide powerhouse in sports information and technological solutions, Sportradar, has named ex-Google leader, Behshad Behzadi, to the recently established position of Chief Technology and Artificial Intelligence Officer. Behzadi, instrumental in molding Google’s AI approach, will oversee the incorporation of advanced AI technology into Sportradar’s offerings. This action underscores Sportradar’s dedication to utilizing AI for enriching the spectator experience and providing customized content.

Behzadi, in turn, shared his eagerness to join Sportradar, acknowledging their standing at the vanguard of athletics, technology, and digital material.

Im genuinely privileged to become part of an organization consistently exceeding technological limits and prioritizing advancement.

Collaborating with Carsten and the executive group, alongside the remarkably gifted innovators within this company, is a prospect I eagerly anticipate. I’m enthusiastic about expanding upon Sportradar’s history of progress as we commence this new phase.
