Tell me about AI and big data.
An example of how this technology has been adapted to the football sector is just one of many applications.
There are a lot of platforms that are used to study players and make recommendations based on efficiency. This technology can influence anything from buying players to tracking player performance.
It’s been a year now since Javier moved to Mexico from Spain, and I wondered just how much it had changed?
Mexico
How has Mexico changed?
For me, it’s a very nostalgic place, I have retraced my steps to when I started my professional journey, and I have to say that it’s a fantastic place.
The focus has been on remote working; few people would say anything to the contrary. I’m no exception, so during the Pandemic, I was working in Mexico from Spain.
I love Mexico, and it’s always been good to me. Food is still very spicy, and you get accustomed to it. I have revisited all the nostalgic places that meant so much in my past. I have also connected with people and still maintain a connection on a personal and professional level.
I’m older now, but from another perspective, the culture stood still, and on some level, I’m back to my second home. People are very relaxed and bond well.
Head Office
Our Head Office has now moved to a business centre model, modern meeting rooms, communal areas mean that we are better equipped to deal with the Pandemic. We have been responsive to change to help us navigate through this difficult time.
