With over nine years of experience in iGaming, my mission is to drive the operational engine that fuels innovation at Gaming Corps. My commercial background in account management and sales provides a comprehensive view of the business, ensuring every department is well-equipped for success. When I’m not focused on changing the game at Gaming Corps, I’m writing music or chipping away at my handicap on the golf course, balancing my professional commitments with athletic and intellectual pursuits.

Based in the UK

My mission is to unite our tech team with a single vision: building the technology that will define the future of iGaming. I ensure we meet our goals and maintain the exceptionally high standards that have made us a creative force in the industry. My approach blends strategic oversight with hands-on execution; you’ll often find me troubleshooting code alongside my team to drive the technological excellence that sets Gaming Corps apart.

Gaming Corps became my new work family in November 2025 – the best early Christmas present. I bring 20 years of gaming industry experience across major and growing businesses, from Gala Coral Group (now Buzz Bingo) and Rank Group (Mecca Bingo), to helping launch a new vertical at Gaming Realms PLC. After seven years managing over 20 London bingo clubs and thousands of staff, transitioning into online gaming was a refreshing shift, leading to a pivotal role at Inspired, a UK iCasino, virtual sports and land-based gaming leader. There, I helped drive expansion into 12 regulated markets and signed nearly 200 operators, experience that inspired me to take on the exciting challenge of helping Gaming Corps reach new levels. I’m passionate about what I do and believe success comes from hard work balanced with fun, learning and delivering delight to customers along the way.

My role centres on shaping how we manage data, systems, and technology operations so the organisation can operate efficiently, securely, and with long‑term stability. I work across teams to ensure our information environment is cohesive, scalable, and aligned with the company’s strategic direction.

I’m known for stepping in when needed, whether it’s architecture, security, or complex operational challenges and working directly with the team to keep things moving. My approach combines long‑term strategic planning with practical, hands‑on execution to maintain a strong, adaptable technology landscape.

Ultimately, my priority is to create an environment where information flows seamlessly, risks are managed proactively, and the organisation has the technological foundation it needs to innovate and grow

With over a decade in iGaming and a background spanning platform, supplier, operator and B2B strategy, I’ve built my career at the intersection of commercial precision and high-performance partnerships.

With over a decade in iGaming, I’ve been privileged enough to work alongside some of the industry’s biggest B2B and B2C brands. I now work to bring all of this experience to Gaming Corps, implementing scalable systems that support sustainable growth and help take the company to new heights.

I’m the Account Management Team Lead with over six years of experience in the gaming industry. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy working closely with teams and customers to deliver real value and results. Before my current role, I held key positions at Swintt and Games Global, where I managed a range of international clients and helped drive commercial growth. Prior to moving into gaming, I spent 11 years in the insurance sector, which gave me a strong foundation in customer service, communication, and business operations. Based on the Isle of Man, I love the variety and energy that comes with my role, especially the opportunity to travel, connect with people, and explore new markets. Outside of work, I’m always looking for the next city or country to discover

I joined Gaming Corps in February 2026, bringing experience from a variety of roles within the iGaming industry, with a strong focus on B2B and a solid understanding of both operator and supplier strategies. Throughout my career, I’ve learned the importance of ”being the face” of the company and building trusted, long-term relationships, an approach that shapes how I work with both partners and colleagues.

As Senior Key Account Manager, I focus on strengthening existing partnerships, developing new business opportunities, and expanding Gaming Corps’ brand awareness across Gibraltar and Spain, ultimately leading to sustainable growth for both the company and its customers.

Joining Gaming Corps feels like a natural next step. The team’s ambition, depth of expertise, and collaborative spirit create the perfect environment for growth—and I’m excited by the opportunity to learn from the best and evolve into an exceptional account manager

I joined the Gaming Corps family in November 2025 as an Account Manager, after a year on the aggregator side, eager to experience the iGaming industry from the provider perspective.

Working primarily with the CIS market, I value Gaming Corps’ thoughtful approach to matching account managers with specific regions and language expertise. A collaborative team and strong leadership create an environment that supports both personal and professional development.

With experience across both B2C and B2B iGaming, I’ve learned that strong partnerships and clear communication are at the heart of every successful collaboration. My focus at Gaming Corps is to bring a customer-first mindset to our global partners, ensuring delivery is seamless and relationships are consistently nurtured.
