Episode 216: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Dr Brian Moore — Co-Founder and CEO of Orreco, a company that has spent over fifteen years at the forefront of bio-analytics and AI in elite sport.

ㅤ Brian’s journey into high-performance sport began in the lead-up to the Sydney Olympics 2000, where he studied blood biomarkers under Professor Craig Sharp — widely regarded as a pioneer of British sports science. Since then, his work has spanned Olympic and World Championship medallists, NBA organisations including the Dallas Mavericks, Premier League clubs, Formula 1 teams, and the America’s Cup.

ㅤ At the core of the conversation is Orreco’s long-term vision: building a full-stack AI system for human performance. Brian shares how a science-first approach has shaped the company’s evolution — from early biomarker analysis to developing integrated systems that aim to inform decision-making across performance, recovery, and health.

ㅤ This episode explores what it really takes to build in elite sport over the long term — from maintaining scientific credibility, to navigating investment, and translating complex data into meaningful, applied insights for practitioners and organisations.

ㅤ Topics Discussed:

• The Fifteen-Year Build
• Science-First Strategy
• The Bio-Analytics Thesis
• Building the Full Stack
• Capital and Credibility
