Huddle has built a proven, high-performance product in the key growth sector of sports betting. The opportunity to join an expert team, building some of the most powerful trading solutions on the market, was a major appeal, and I’m ready to help deliver on the next chapter of this company’s success. My focus is to bring a relentless approach to growth, executing a commercial strategy that drives internal revenue and brings even greater value to our existing and future partners. We have the tech already live with leading tier-one operators, and with a tighter product focus and a strong roadmap ahead, we’re well set to open more doors and scale both quickly and robustly.
