Former TRACAB President, David Eccles, joins LaSource as VP of Sales & Partnerships
We are extremely delighted and thrilled to announce that David Eccles has joined LaSource as our new VP of Sales & Partnerships.
David brings nearly 20 years of experience across the sports industry, most notably as President and General Manager of TRACAB, where he led global commercial and go-to-market efforts. He later supported sports tech startups and rights holders through his consultancy work, and most recently held a senior commercial role at Teamworks, one of the leading platforms in athlete and team operations.
His mix of strategic sales leadership and hands-on industry knowledge makes him a perfect fit for LaSource’s model, where we sit at the crossroads of sport, tech, and business growth.
David will work closely with our leadership team across two fronts:
ReSpo.Vision: Supporting one of our most exciting partner companies as they grow globally, building and executing their commercial strategy.
LaSource Core Business: Playing a leading role in our tech scouting and offering hands-on support for our startups, while also contributing to our consulting missions with rights holders, especially when it comes to data strategy, digital ecosystems, and innovation rollouts.
He’ll also help strengthen our LeStudio accelerator program, providing guidance to promising startups and helping them land their first big opportunities in Europe.
“David has seen this industry from every angle, from selling to advising to scaling. He brings his extensive knowledge in the data space, combined with proven business capabilities, operational know-how and credibility that perfectly complements our ambitions at LaSource. But more importantly, it has been great working with David since day 1, and the attitude, proactiveness and great fun I have had are key for us to continue our growth journey at LaSource while preserving this spirit.” - Jean-Baptiste Alliot, CSO, LaSource
“What drew me to LaSource was the mix of agility, ambition, and credibility. Whether it’s advising a top federation or helping a startup land its first big deal, this is where things happen. I’m excited to be part of it.” - David Eccles, VP of Sales & Partnerships, LaSource
A warm welcome to our team David!
