Research & Development Team
Charles Ballet (CEO & Founder)
PGDip (Research Methods in Psychology),
MSc (Sports Medicine)
As the CEO, I bring together my experience in the sports industry and expertise in Research Methods in Psychology.
I worked as a Physiotherapist for a Premier League Football Club and also completed a Postgraduate Diploma that explored the on-field perceptive and cognitive skills of football players. I’ve also participated in business workshops at UCL, which have sharpened my strategic management skills.
Driven by a passion for innovation, tech, and sports, I developed a platform that empowers organizations to utilise research insights effectively.
In my spare time, I’ve taken up golf and I’m terrible at it, but hey, that just means there's plenty of room for banter !!!.
I speak French and English.
