Dad to Lily and Kieran and husband to wonderful wife Justyna, aka iSportConnect's Chief Entertainment Officer! Hard worker with more LinkedIn connections than the population of some small countries. Enjoys cricket and playing tennis, but as an Arsenal fan is used to regular sporting disappointment…
Previously worked at: Advisor at EuroLeague Basketball, RealFvr and LND UTD
Michael’s career before iSportConnect was mostly in beer and football! “If you can work at the things that you like then work isn’t so bad after all.” In 2010 along came Sree Varma to ask Michael to join him at iSportConnect and since then the fun has continued. That doesn’t mean that it has been easy, but it has been worthwhile. The challenge now is to get to the next level, which will be the most exciting of all – just think of where iSportConnect can go from here!
Previously worked at: Guinness, The FA and Aston Villa.

More than a bit of a demon around the Table Tennis table and now finds himself on the board of Table Tennis England.

Rum and Tequila connoisseur and always up to join you for one if you ever meet in person.

A lifelong footballer who still enjoys getting onto the pitch despite his ever diminishing skills and ageing frame.

Previously worked at: FIFA, MyCujoo (ELEVEN Sports) and ZenithOptimedia
Chief Content Officer
Claims to do a bit of sport every day, as if tai-chi really counts. He does play a fair amount of tennis too, slowly. An American growing up on baseball, basketball etc so never play any US based trivial pursuit with him. Has written about showbiz as well as sport and even organised a conference at the Vatican.
Previously worked at: Variety, Television Business International and Kagan.

Our newest recruit is lifelong Liverpool fan with the trauma to match and would definitely have made it as a Pro if it wasn’t for that damn knee injury. Still enjoys playing most weeks, but tends to prefer the pub rather than pitch nowadays.
iSportConnect's youngest team member is a massive Cristiano (Ronnie) Ronaldo fan, and he won't let you forget it. He's quick to brag about being a jack-of-all trades in sports, though suspiciously, no-one's ever witnessed him break a sweat on the pitch - or anywhere else, for that matter.
Satvik’s an athlete, never played on any level but he’s confident about no one beating him in a race. Being a hypothetical Athlete, he is also a big fan of Conor McGregor and loves to copy McGregor’s walk when no one’s watching!!
