Speaking to EGR Technology, Picard said the sustained rise of the esports industry was one of the key reasons for his transition to PandaScore.
He said: “Esports’ momentum is unprecedented and I think that is the best moment to join the industry.
“PandaScore is reinforcing its operational and sales team to continue to deliver a best-in-class data, odds and customer experience and I’m looking forward to playing an important role in our growth,” he added.
In September, PandaScore secured €5m in a Series A funding round which it plans to use to build out its employee headcount and diversify into other esports titles.
