And today new technologies are drivers of this innovation. In my career I have always looked for companies that impact and innovate the everyday life of people.” Regarding DAZN, “our vision is to become a sports destination platform,” she says, “where viewing is not the only service but where we offer engaging and immersive experiences to sports fans.”
