Roy Krishnan
Founder & CEO
Roy is an award-winning scientist who concentrated his research in computational sciences to find a more perfect understanding of success in sport. Training at Driveline Baseball as a pitcher in 2017 after having Tommy John surgery, Roy went on to work in engineering for Reboot Motion, Epic Sports Biomechanics, and Driveline Baseball themselves, learning from industry experts how to utilize numbers to make players the best version of themselves. This led him to start Liquid Sports Lab in November of 2020, which in turn led him to the Dallas Mavericks in 2021-2022, and the Toronto Raptors in 2022-2023, where he was the youngest to serve in his position in the league’s history. His time spent in team operations, front offices and performance biomechanics divisions has allowed him to better the quantitative process behind analytics, decision science, performance science and their corresponding outcomes. In 2024, Roy was named to the Front Office Sports Rising 25 and became the youngest member of The Peak’s Emerging Leader List at age 24.
Liquid Sports Lab is Roy’s life work - as he helped pioneer the data & cultural shift towards numbers in sports. Companies he has worked for have so far have raised over 1.9 million dollars in funding for performance biotechnology, and he continues to build the processes for growth at Liquid Sports Lab.
