Swintt has appointed Etienne Azzopardi as Interim Managing Director, placing the former COO in charge as the supplier continues a wider restructuring of its senior management team.
Azzopardi steps into the interim role following the departure of David Mann, who exited the business as part of ongoing executive changes and joined Playnetic as its new CEO.
Swintt said the appointment is intended to provide continuity across operations, product delivery and market expansion as the company enters its next phase of growth.
Azzopardi joined Swintt in August 2021 as Director of Operations before being promoted to COO in February 2022.
During his tenure, he has overseen operational management, product roadmap optimisation, licensing activity and game certification, while also coordinating multiple product launches and new client integrations.
The supplier has expanded rapidly over the past four years, entering its thirteenth regulated market with certification in Italy last summer.
Swintt was founded in 2019 and has since grown its distribution footprint across several European jurisdictions, including Germany and Italy, alongside continued expansion elsewhere.
In his new role, Azzopardi will retain oversight of Swintt’s operational functions while also taking responsibility for driving product strategy, market entry planning and team development.
The supplier said these areas fall within his existing remit, allowing for a smooth transition at management level.
Etienne Azzopardi, Interim Managing Director at Swintt, said: “I’m very excited to be appointed as Interim Managing Director at Swintt and hope I can repay the trust the company has shown in me.”
Azzopardi added: “Under David Mann, Swintt grew from an innovative start-up to a provider with distribution across 13 regulated markets. I intend to build on these foundations by expanding our portfolio and extending our reach through new commercial partnerships.”
Earlier this month, the supplier confirmed a new distribution agreement with Starcasino Sport in Italy, making its Elysium Studios portfolio available to local players following regulatory approval.
That launch follows previous expansions with Entain’s bwin brand in Germany and an increased content rollout with Eurobet.it, reflecting Swintt’s focus on locally compliant growth across Europe.
Swintt entered its thirteenth regulated market in 2025, less than six years after the supplier was founded
