Emilio García Duarte has been appointed chief revenue officer at Real Betis Balompié (LALIGA EA Sports), announced the Spanish club on 08/04/2025. He succeeds Juan Useros, who stepped down at the end of December 2024.

"Emilio García Duarte has a degree in journalism and a degree in business administration from Harvard Business School. He comes from the NBA, where he developed his professional career over the last 15 years, the first four as EMEA director of marketing and later, in New York (USA), as head of marketing for Latin America.
