Gaming Innovation Group has appointed former CEO of SBTech and of Bragg Richard Carter as its new platform and sportsbook CEO.
In his new role, Carter will drive the platform and sportsbook division’s success in the global igaming market, and lead its development into a stand-alone, publicly listed SaaS company.
The move follows on from the decision to split GiG into two companies.
“I am delighted to become the platform and sportsbook CEO of GiG at such an exciting time in the group’s development,” said Carter. “With its outstanding data-led proprietary technology platform, sector leading regulated market coverage and diverse product portfolio, the GiG platform is exceptionally well positioned to maintain its recent strong growth momentum.
“I can’t wait to get started and am very much looking forward to working with the GiG platform and sportsbook team, building on the strong progress to date, and over time helping to unleash and extract the full potential of a standalone GiG platform.”
Petter Nylander, GiG’s chairman of the board, commented: “We are very pleased and excited to announce that Richard Carter will join GiG as platform and sportsbook CEO during Q3, 2023.
“The board believes Richard Carter has the relevant experience, given his success as CEO of SBTech and has shown an impressive and deep understanding of the GiG business, its opportunities and provided thoughtful strategic considerations on how build on the recent success of the platform and sportsbook business and driving shareholder value.”
