SPORTING INDEX has announced the appointment of former senior Thomson Reuters executive, Mark Redwood, to the post of Non-Executive Chairman. The company revealed that 50-year-old Redwood headed Thomson Reuters' sales and trading activities until stepping down at the end of December and he will now replace Richard Glynn who left last year to take up the post of Chief Executive Officer for Ladbrokes.
"We believe the sportsbetting landscape is rapidly changing and is mirroring the way the financial data services industry has evolved," said Warren Murphy, Chief Executive Officer for Sporting Index.
"We deliberately sought to bring in someone with a strong financial technology background. From that perspective, Mark coming on board is a real coup for us. His unrivalled expertise in developing and commercialising financial trading data and transactional systems will further strengthen our business as we continue to position Sporting Index at the forefront of the sportsbetting industry."
