Sportradar announced it has found a new CFO to oversee the company’s global finance, accounting and investor relations functions. Craig Felenstein will join the company with 30 years of senior finance and operating experience, effective June 1 of this year. Felenstein most recently held the same role with Lindblad Expeditions where he was responsible for the company’s global finance organization, as well as its corporate development, information technology and human resources functions.
“With Craig’s deep international experience and successful track record building finance organizations as a CFO at US listed public companies, I am confident that he will be a strong addition to our team,” Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl said.
“His track record of helping drive financial strategy and building shareholder value will be instrumental to our continued success. We want to express our deep gratitude to Ger Griffin for his meaningful contributions to Sportradar during a transformational growth period for our Company.”
Felenstein will be based in New York and report directly to Koerl under his new title. He will also partner with the company’s executive leadership team to further company initiatives while preserving current Sportradar relationships within the investment community.
“Sportradar has built an impressive leadership position in the rapidly growing global sports technology market and the company is ideally situated to deliver sustained growth given their strong content portfolio, unmatched product offerings and commitment to industry innovation,” Felenstein said.
“I am excited to work with Carsten and the entire Sportradar team, as well as the Board of Directors, to capitalize on the significant growth opportunities ahead and deliver additional value to our clients, partners and shareholders.”
Before joining Lindblad Expeditions, Felenstein was SVP of Investor Relations and Strategic Finance at Shutterstock, EVP of Investor Relations at Discovery Communications and held various senior positions with News Corporation, Viacom Inc. and Arthur Andersen & Co.
