Sportingtech, a leading player in the iGaming industry, has announced the designation of Tom Ustunel as its new CEO, signaling a key step in the company’s expansion plans for 2024.
Ustunel, who brings over two years of experience with Sportingtech, has previously held pivotal leadership roles in prominent companies within the industry. Notably, he served as the Chief of Gaming Operations at GameAccount Network (GAN) and as the Betting and Gaming Director at News UK. Throughout his career, Ustunel has demonstrated a commitment to strategic initiatives and product development.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Ustunel remarked, “Sportingtech has been on an incredible trajectory in recent years, and 2023 saw unprecedented success, which we are looking to not only replicate but also build on. I am thrilled to be working with such a talented team of people across the entire business during what promises to be an exciting time as we look to further cement ourselves as the go-to provider for operators.”
The decision to appoint Ustunel as CEO aligns with Sportingtech’s ambitious plans for growth, particularly in the Latin American (LatAm) market in the upcoming year. This strategic move coincides with several internal promotions within the company.
This announcement follows the recent appointment of Michael Jack as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in September 2023. With over 15 years of industry experience, Jack joined as part of Sportingtech’s broader efforts to expand its presence across Brazil and other Latin American markets.
Sportingtech has been actively fostering partnerships in the region, including the delivery of its Quantum sportsbook platform to operators in Brazil. Additionally, collaborations with industry players like Evoplay have facilitated the introduction of a diverse library of games tailored to the preferences of LatAm countries. The company’s comprehensive approach underscores its commitment to innovation, strategic growth, and solidifying its position in key markets.
