Eccles, who led commercial and business development activities for sports video and data analysis, will now manage Tracab's business development, marketing, and sales functions.
"We have an exciting time ahead of us here at Tracab," said Brogren. "Deep learning and better GPUs and cameras open up great possibilities to accelerate the value we bring to leagues, teams, and fans. We will create fantastic products in the coming years through skeletal tracking and automatic event detection on top of the real-time tracking with which Tracab has led the market since 2006."
"I'm tremendously excited about the opportunity to co-lead the Tracab business alongside my colleague, Martin," said Eccles. "With backing from the CEO and the board, we have the opportunity to execute some really powerful initiatives. I am passionate about sports and sports technology, and I believe we have only just begun to understand the true value that video and data can play in our industry."
