Drew Crisp, SVP of Digital, Liverpool FC, said: “We are always looking for ways to innovate and enhance the technology we use to store and share important files and information across the business. Data is becoming increasingly central to how the world of sports operates. As a result, our data is incredibly valuable, so safely and efficiently storing and accessing that information is critical to the way we operate as a business and a football club. So we’re excited to welcome Wasabi Technologies as our new cloud storage partner.

“As Wasabi looks to continue its exponential growth and provide a highly competitive cloud storage alternative in this rapidly expanding market, it wanted to partner with a brand that has huge global reach and could provide the platform to drive brand awareness and engagement. With LFC’s huge global audience and marketing capabilities, we’re delighted to provide the brand platform that Wasabi needs.”
