Genius Sports seeks new independent directors

New York-listed sports data technology provider Genius Sports is looking to replace three independent directors who are stepping down next month.

The company confirmed Monday that Albert Costa Centena, Niccolo de Masi and Roxana Mirica will be stepping down from the Board on Wednesday 6 December.

All three directors were integral in the company’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2021 and have served as directors since the listing. De Masi also served on the company’s Audit Committee.

“On behalf of my fellow directors and the company, we want to thank Albert, Niccolo and Roxana for their contributions as directors throughout and since the company’s listing,” said Genius Sports chair David Levy. “In anticipation of their retirement from the Genius Board, we will undertake a search for additional independent directors to join the Board in the near term.”
