A Moment of Gratitude – Inauguration of the Sports Intelligence Hub, Munich

As we inaugurated the Sports Intelligence Hub in Munich, my heart filled with deep gratitude.
Gratitude for the journey that brought us here—built on belief, collaboration, and countless conversations that stretched across borders and disciplines. What began as a vision to bring intelligence, data, and empathy together in the world of sport has now taken shape in one of the most iconic cities of global athletics.
The chants, the tension, the eruption of joy (or heartbreak) — it was all real, raw, and unforgettable.

I’m profoundly thankful to the brilliant minds who trusted this idea, the partners who lent their support, and the teams who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Munich, with its rich sporting heritage, couldn’t have been a more befitting home for this bold step forward.
But above all, my gratitude is for the young athletes—those whose potential often remain untapped, unseen. This hub is for them. For every player waiting to be discovered, for every coach seeking smarter insights, and for every game that can be made fairer and more inclusive through knowledge.
This moment is not mine alone—it belongs to everyone who believes that sport can be more than just performance. It can be intelligence, inclusion, and inspiration.

Thank you, Munich. Thank you to everyone who made this day possible. The journey ahead is long—but now, we’ve lit the torch
