GALLEN, Switzerland, April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ: SRAD) today announced that two highly experienced executives, Rajani Ramanathan and William Kurtz, will stand for election as independent members of its Board of Directors at the company’s annual general meeting of shareholders, on May 16, 2023 in St. Gallen, Switzerland. In addition to Ms. Ramanathan and Mr. Kurtz, the candidates for the seats include seven incumbent directors advanced by the board.

Ms. Ramanathan currently serves as an advisor and director to several public and private technology companies in the AI, VR, Blockchain, and connected (IoT) technology space. Currently, Ms. Ramanathan is a member of the board of directors of ESI Group, a French publicly traded company providing virtual prototyping software solutions and services. She has also chaired ESI’s Technology and Marketing Committee and since September 2022 she has chaired ESI’s Compensation Committee and the Nomination and Governance Committee. In addition, she serves on the boards of Guidewire Software, Faro Technologies, and Hayden AI. From 2000-2014, she had served in a variety of leadership roles at Salesforce, most recently as its Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President – Technology and Products.

Mr. Kurtz has over 30 years of experience as a chief financial officer and chief operating officer in several high-growth technology equipment and software companies and likewise sits on several corporate boards. Mr. Kurtz currently sits on the board of directors of Aterian Inc., a Nasdaq listed company where he serves as lead independent director and as a member of the audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees, and on the board of Ripcord, Inc. where he serves on the audit committee. Also, since September 2016 he has served on the board of Verint Systems Inc., a Nasdaq-listed analytics company, as chairman of its audit committee and as a member of the governance committee.
