Leading global sports technology company Sportradar has announced the appointment of Andrew Bimson, former Bloomberg Executive, as the Chief Operating Officer, North America.

As the new COO of North America, Bimson will oversee and be responsible for the growth of Sportradar’s three core business areas - Betting & Gaming, Sports Entertainment (media solutions), and ad:s (marketing services) in the region and globally. Bimson will report to North America CEO Arne Rees.

Andrew joins Sportradar at an important time as the North American market is primed for significant growth and remains a key focus of Sportradar’s overall strategic plan. His role in partnering with our leaders to articulate this vision, align teams around it, and create meaningful KPIs to measure our progress will be critically important.
