Susana Ferreras has been promoted to Arsenal Knowledge Analytics Lead, managing their Analysis and Insights staff.

“Once we have been hiring for the place that Mikhail Zhilkin received, we solely had two ladies candidates,” Rudd remembered. “One was Susana. She had gained a silver medal for Spain on the Olympics (in basketball). The opposite was a girl working in Formulation One, who needed to drop out.

“It was actually stunning to see how few feminine candidates there have been. Susana was so spectacular that we determined to shuffle issues and make a place for her.”

Ferreras has labored as Operations Supervisor for the Spain Girls’s basketball staff at main competitions since 2011 and helped them win silver in Rio in 2016. The general boss of Arsenal’s knowledge analytics division is the American Chris Dove, whose title is Head of Software program and Analytics. He changed Rudd, who had left to arrange her personal consultancy, in July 2021.
