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.

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.
