Brogren, who has been dedicated to the development of tracking technology and has led many of the company's innovations over the past decade, will now manage research, engineering and product strategy. Eccles, who led commercial and business development activities for sports video and data analysis, will now manage Tracab's business development, marketing and sales functions.
"We have an exciting time ahead of us here at Tracab," said Brogren.
