The sports data and technology provider confirmed that Corcoran was elected to the board effective December 11, 2025. He currently serves as chief executive of online trading and investment company IG Group, a position he assumed in January 2024.
Extensive Background in Betting and Gaming
Corcoran brings more than a decade of leadership experience in the gambling industry to Sportradar’s board. He spent over 10 years in senior roles at Paddy Power before being appointed chief executive of Betfair in 2012. From 2016 to 2018, Corcoran led the newly merged Paddy Power Betfair, which later rebranded as Flutter Entertainment.
Following his departure from Flutter, Corcoran served as CEO of international payments firm Zepz from 2018 to 2022. He then chaired the board of Auction Technology Group, a digital marketplace platform, from 2022 to 2024 before taking his current role at IG Group.
“Sportradar has built an impressive business in sports technology, and its potential for continued expansion and innovation is enormous,” Corcoran said. “With 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’s journey and help drive long term value for its stakeholders.”
Board Expansion Reflects Growth Trajectory
With Corcoran’s appointment, Sportradar’s board now comprises 10 executives, including CEO Carsten Koerl and Chairman Jeffery Yabuki. Other board members include Deirdre Bigley, John Doran, George Fleet, Pascal Keutgens, William Kurtz, Rajani Ramanathan, and Marc Walder.
Yabuki highlighted Corcoran’s “wealth of leadership experience across multiple industries” and “deep understanding of the sports technology and data landscape” as key factors in his appointment.
“Breon joins our board at an exciting time as we continue to innovate in sports technology and expand our global footprint,” Koerl said. “His proven leadership and deep industry experience will help guide us as we advance our strategic priorities, enhance operational excellence, and maximise value creation.”
Sportradar described the Irish executive as a recognized leader in technology and digital transformation with a track record of scaling international businesses. His experience leading teams across Europe, Australia, and the United States aligns with Sportradar’s global expansion strategy.
Strong Financial Performance Supports Expansion
The board appointment comes during a period of significant growth for Sportradar. In its third quarter financial update released last month, the company reported revenue growth of 21% year-on-year in the US market and 13% across the rest of the world.
Total revenue increased 14% year-on-year to €292 million ($343 million), generating a profit of €22 million. Based on this performance, Sportradar raised its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to at least €1.290 billion, representing 17% annual growth.
The company also completed the acquisition of IMG Arena in November 2025, a deal first announced in March. The acquisition expands Sportradar’s sports data and content capabilities as it pursues further market growth.
