Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Christina is a fantastic addition to the Stats Perform leadership team as we build on our record financial performance in 2024, including double-digit growth in profitability and a record fourth quarter in new business delivery. She is an accomplished leader whose sharp business acumen and results-oriented approach make her the ideal fit for the role. As we continue to capitalize on the momentum underway across our business, Christina’s insights and experience will contribute to our mission to change how sports are understood and played.”

“Joining the Stats Perform team represents an exciting opportunity for me to work with a dynamic, industry-leading organization that has transformed the sports AI technology space,” said Ms. Grealy. “The Company’s breadth of sports data and advanced AI capabilities have played a major role in changing how so many people, from fans to broadcasters to teams, engage with the sports to which they have dedicated their lives. There is significant potential at Stats Perform waiting to be unlocked, and I look forward to working with Carl and the talented Stats Perform team to continue the Company’s impressive growth.”

Mr. Mergele continued, “On behalf of everyone at Stats Perform, I would like to thank Nick for his years of service. Nick joined our team as part of the Perform Group back in 2014, and since then has provided strategic insights that have been vital in helping us grow into the market leader we are today. We wish him the very best in his next chapter.”

“It has been an extraordinary decade for me at such an innovative and dynamic company that fuels so many deep passions around sports,” said Mr. Drew. “I am grateful for my time spent at Stats Perform culminating in a record year for the Company’s financial results, and I look forward to following the continued success of Stats Perform.”
