As the former trading and operations director for global sportsbook at The Stars Group, Ian Marmion brings over 20 years of experience in the sports betting industry and a strong track record of developing and deploying new technologies. He was a pioneer in automated pricing and trading models while working at BetVictor in the early 2000s and more recently played a key role in enhancing the in-play user experience at BetStars and FoxBet through collaboration with Banach Technology. Marmion is also an investor in Voxbet.
Marmion’s new role at Voxbet comes after the company’s rebranding in December, which also saw the appointment of former William Hill Online managing director Andrew Lee as the company’s chairman. Voxbet already boasts partnerships with top-tier operators such as PMU, Betsson, Paddy Power, and William Hill. The company aims to leverage transformational technology and improve the user experience through these changes.
Jonathan Power, founder and CEO of Voxbet, expressed confidence in Marmion’s appointment and highlighted his expertise in developing and optimizing digital products. Power emphasized Marmion’s strategic focus on the online customer experience, data, and innovation as valuable assets to the leadership team. Voxbet intends to increase its market share across Europe and prepare for rapid expansion.
Voxbet claims to be the first betting provider to offer software that allows customers to speak or type their bets, similar to search engines. Marmion shares enthusiasm for joining the Voxbet team and believes in the transformative power of new technology in the sports betting industry. He emphasizes the need for operators to embrace change and offers Voxbet’s approach as a way to make betting more convenient, simpler, and faster, ultimately enhancing the overall customer experience.
