Shared Jonathan Fascitelli, Founder and Chairman, Seregh, “Seregh and ROAR are now uniquely positioned to help the stakeholders maximize the value of their sports assets before, during and after the construction of mixed-use sports and entertainment districts.”
As part of the transaction, the ROAR Founder and Managing Director Adam Grossman will join Seregh as the Chief Analytics Officer while continuing to serve as the President of ROAR, A Seregh Company.
Grossman was previously the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the partnership valuation firm Block Six Analytics (acquired by Excel Sports Management in 2021). He is currently a Professor in Northwestern University’s Master’s in Sports Administration program and a content creator across books, podcasts and media publications.
Added Fascitelli, “Adam is a sports industry heavyweight and a recognized leader in his field. Seregh and I targeted him because he is exactly the right person to lead the build of the SmartDaaS platform.”
SmartDaaS will also enhance ROAR’s existing audience, analytics and insights capabilities helping the sports properties, the rights holders, the agencies, and the partners optimize multiple revenue streams. ROAR currently collaborates with a wide range of partners and providers – including those working directly with the sports entities – to deliver data-driven solutions that impact partnerships, fan engagement, ticketing, merchandise, hospitality, and event operations.
Said Grossman, “SmartDaaS is the embodiment of ideas I’ve explored for years. Combining Seregh’s expertise with ROAR’s offerings and the ability to collaborate across the sports ecosystem is a no-brainer for any team, league, event, or university considering building a SEAD.”
