Simon Whitehead

I’m a Senior Pre-Sales Consultant with a deep foundation in high-performance technology solutions, data analytics, and performance modelling. I drive growth through consultative product demos, complex stakeholder engagement, and translating technical science into clear business value.

At STATSports, I’m recognised as the top-performing pre-sales consultant, delivering record conversion rates and global client success. I lead technical demonstrations, proof-of-concepts, and workflow integrations across hardware, software, analytics, and cloud platforms—while providing sports-science insights that support measurable ROI outcomes.

Previously, I led the academy’s physical performance strategy as Head of Sports Science (Academy) at Burnley Football Club. I designed and delivered sports science programmes using performance data, analytics, and technology platforms to inform evidence-based decisions, coach/multi-disciplinary support, and senior leadership reporting.

I partner across product, software, marketing, medical, and recruitment teams to align feedback with go-to-market strategy and drive adoption. I’m results-oriented, target-driven, and focused on delivering measurable outcomes through continuous improvement, training, and enablement.
