He led this initiative to be a big win for DraftKings and I know he will do the same for us as we advance into these spaces. He inherits a hugely talented, proficient, and energetic staff. I'm so proud of what they've done for this company. I look forward to Dan leading us onward continuing our success in the future."

"I can't wait to drive SIS into our next chapter," said Hannigan-Daley. "Data is king in Sports and Sports Betting. With our deep history pushing the data evolution in Pro Sports, we are excited for the next wave as we innovate with our products, technology and data."

Hester also comes to SIS from DraftKings, where he spent nearly six years, the last two as Senior Lead Software Engineer.

"I'm incredibly excited to join the talented team at Sports Info Solutions," Hester said. "SIS's proprietary data, combined with Audeo Capital's investment, presents a tremendous opportunity for the company's growth and expansion into previously untapped arenas. I look forward to helping advance the company to the forefront of the sports analytics, data, and gaming spaces."

"Of technologists and product minds working in sports, there are few that possess the skills that Will has," Hannigan-Daley said. "His impact is seen all over DK and together with the existing team at SIS, we're ready to create an unparalleled platform of sporting data and insights."
