Cochrane has not yet specified his next venture but yields extensive gaming experience

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) Chief Business Officer Andrew Cochrane has announced that he will be stepping down from the role via LinkedIn after two years with the company.

Indeed, Cochrane's tenure as CBO saw him aid GiG's expansion into new regulated markets across the globe, overseeing the execution of sustainable growth roadmaps and the brokerage of new partnerships. Cochrane has not yet specified plans for his next venture, however, 15+ years of gaming and business experience - including previous stints with William Hill and as an SVP of Commercial at DraftKings - it would be no surprise to see him back in the industry soon.

Commenting on this latest development via LinkedIn, Cochrane stated: "After two compelling years, the time has come for me to move on from my role as Chief Business Officer at GiG. Over the past two years, Gaming Innovation Group has undergone a meaningful transformation, executing a focused B2B strategy, expanding into new markets, delivering a strong cadence of new launches, signing strategic long-term partners, and driving material revenue growth through disciplined business development.

"The business today is fundamentally stronger, more focused, and better positioned for its next phase of growth than when I joined. GiG has been an intense, rewarding, and defining chapter. I leave proud of what we achieved together and confident in the company's continued trajectory."

This latest update follows a €4.7m ($5.5m) cash injection from a Hong Kong-based investor which was secured by GiG in June of last year. Elsewhere in 2025, the organisation formally scrapped plans for five separate sweepstakes launches as part of a pivot which has seen the affiliate focus more closely on the Brazilian market.

Good to know

During Q3 2025, GiG reported a year-on-year revenue upswing of 31%, alongside an EBITDA figure of €1.1m
