Saxena’s move is the latest step in the company’s four-year growth plan that has also seen David Murphy join as chief marketing officer and Andrew Lee promoted to chief operating officer.

Saxena will oversee technology initiatives, policies and integration with QiH Group’s strategic objectives.

He will work with QiH Group’s senior leadership, stakeholders and cross-functional teams to transition previously outsourced functions and platforms to in-house talent.

Saxena said: “Whether it’s software engineering, information science or managing tech talent, I love using my background to benefit a new sector.

“I’m really excited about the move into betting and gaming, and I know that QiH Group will be the next new challenge for me as I oversee the migration and integration of platforms, as well as building a high-performing team who will enhance the firm’s abilities.”

QiH Group CEO Jamie Walters said: “Working in the affiliate space is as challenging as it is rewarding – mainly because of the fast-paced nature and how competitive our products have to be.

“Investing in a CTO was the best decision for us now, as our in-house tech talent blossoms and we require next-gen leadership to scale the tech stack quickly. Sachin’s software engineering,  development and leadership experience in the B2B sphere are excellent, and we’re so pleased to welcome him.”

Saxena has previously worked at digital health company Congenica, online legal platform Rocket Lawyer and fintech firm Dealogic.
