"I’m pleased to share that I’ve joined Soft2Bet as VP of Business Development.

My focus will be on driving growth by securing the right operator partnerships in competitive markets and deepening our work with Tier-1 operators.

What I like most about Soft2Bet is its operator-first mindset. The team’s B2C experience shapes how we work with partners and how we measure success, with a clear emphasis on growth and retention.

I’m looking forward to getting started with the team and working closely with Andrew Cochrane as we build on the strong foundations already in place and continue to push forward in key markets."
