In his new role, Azzopardi will be responsible for coordinating and optimizing product delivery, client launches, and geographical expansion. Azzopardi has more than 22 years of experience in IT professional services, digital product development, and commercial delivery. He joins Swintt after working as the commercial operations director at Quickspin. Azzopardi also held positions as a solutions manager and technical account manager at Quickspin and as a product manager for gaming at Betsson for three years. Before entering the gambling industry, Azzopardi worked as a project team leader at KPMG for 16-and-a-half years.
“Swintt’s rapid expansion means I’ll be joining the company at an exciting time, and I’m looking forward to delivering strong growth for Swintt and its customers,” Azzopardi said.
Swintt CEO David Flynn added: “Etienne is one of the most experienced and skilled executives in the industry, and his knowledge and understanding of product development and commercial delivery will be vital to Swintt as we continue to grow. We have built a phenomenal team, and in Etienne, we have someone who fits perfectly with our culture and wider ambition to become a tier one game provider for operators in markets around the world.”
Azzopardi’s appointment marks the latest senior hire at Swintt. The provider also named Tereza Melicharkova as head of marketing and David Flood as its new chief technology officer in June. Last month, Swintt received certification from the Swedish Gambling Authority, allowing them to offer their content portfolio in Sweden.
