That deal led to the creation of Paddy Power Betfair plc, which at the time became the world\u2019s most valuable gambling company and laid the foundation for today\u2019s <strong>Flutter Entertainment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond gambling, Corcoran\u2019s career includes senior leadership roles in the fintech and digital sectors. He served as CEO of <strong>Zepz<\/strong> (formerly <strong>WorldRemit Group<\/strong>) and later as Chairman of <strong>Auction Technology Group (ATG)<\/strong>, highlighting his successful track record in building and scaling global technology businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corcoran joins Sportradar at a time when the company is focused on advancing its M&amp;A strategy, technology transfer, fintech innovation and international expansion, entering a new phase of transformation and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corcoran said: \u201cSportradar has built an impressive business in sports technology, and its potential for continued expansion and innovation is enormous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith my background in betting, gaming, and fintech, I am looking forward to working with Jeff, Carsten, and the rest of the Board of Directors to contribute to the company\u2019s journey and help drive long-term value for its stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corcoran\u2019s appointment comes during a transitional year for Sportradar, marked by the acquisition of <strong>IMG Arena<\/strong> in November 2025 &#8211; the largest media and data rights transaction in the company\u2019s history. The acquisition expanded Sportradar\u2019s global footprint by adding premium betting and media data rights for <strong>Wimbledon, the PGA Tour, EuroLeague Basketball, the WTA Tour, Grand Slam tennis tournaments and Major League Soccer (MLS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expanded portfolio now covers more than 70 rights holders, delivering approximately<strong> 39,000 official data events and 30,000 live streaming events annually across 14 sports<\/strong> on six continents. The acquisition further strengthens Sportradar\u2019s position as a leader in sports data and content distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company continues to enhance its investor profile on Nasdaq, becoming the first publicly listed sportstech company to generate more than \u20ac1 billion in annual commercial revenue as of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, Sportradar plans to expand its data rights services for sports partners, introduce new media innovations and strengthen affiliate solutions for betting operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBreon has a wealth of leadership experience across multiple industries, including a deep understanding of the sports technology and data landscape, which will be invaluable to our Board and management.
