Hutchison joins Huddle after senior leadership roles at Genius Sports and Digitain
Appointment supports supplier’s expansion in regulated markets
Focus includes partnerships and scaling trading and odds products

Premium odds feed supplier Huddle has appointed Iain Hutchison as SVP of Business Development, tasking the industry executive with leading its commercial strategy as the business expands internationally.

The hire comes as the supplier broadens its trading and odds services portfolio, which includes player props, micro markets and same game parlays, alongside newer tennis and soccer offerings.

Hutchison said: “Huddle has built a proven, high-performance product in the key growth sector of sports betting.”

Hutchison added: “My focus is to bring a relentless approach to growth, executing a commercial strategy that drives internal revenue and brings greater value to partners.”

The executive brings more than three decades of experience across betting, sports data and media. He previously spent nearly 15 years at Genius Sports, rising to Chief Revenue Officer, before later holding the same role at Digitain. 

His background includes guiding businesses through expansion phases and establishing operator partnerships across regulated markets.

Huddle CEO Francesco Borgosano said: “Bringing Iain onboard will help us build on our momentum.”

Borgosano added: “He understands the journey from a fast-growing start-up to a global business and will help scale our position.”

The supplier indicated the role will center on strengthening relationships with existing tier-one operators while pursuing new commercial agreements through Hutchison’s industry network.

Huddle has already deployed its technology with several operators and is targeting further growth across regulated jurisdictions as demand increases for complex betting markets and in-play products.

In February 2026, Hutchison stepped down as Chief Revenue Officer at Digitain to become a Non-Executive Director, remaining involved at board level as the supplier pursued regulated market expansion following licensing approvals including a UK betting licence and Isle of Man software supplier licence.
