"It's been a dream to work 20 years in the sports industry, especially alongside Tim Micallef, and express my passion and love for sports on a daily basis," Seixeiro said in a release.
"I've always been curious to explore other areas of the business and this was a unique opportunity that I couldn't pass up."
