The executive further added that the whole company was thrilled to see him join and that they expected his addition to helping with the company’s long-term growth. Masterman is immediately arriving from ShotTracker, another competitor, where he worked as VP of sales and where he successfully cultivated business relationships with CBS Sports and ESPN.

For his part, Masterman is a well-seasoned industry heavyweight. He has been able to secure data rights for the NBA, NHL, NFL, and NASCAR during his stints at various companies. He helped Sportradar to sign up for Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports, and DraftKings, among others.

Masterman’s Track Record Speaks for Itself

His industry connections and understanding of the industry make him a perfect fit for the industry. Masterman is confident that he has joined the right team. He also praised Pythian and added:

Together, we accomplished great things at SportsData and Sportradar, so I’m looking forward to once again leveraging our complementary strengths to drive SharpLink’s growth and help to ensure we ultimately dominate the fast-emerging sports betting conversion market.
