Future Anthem achieves significant workforce growth doubling team size since series A raise
Future Anthem, the pioneering AI and data science powerhouse, is proud to announce a significant expansion of its workforce, which has more than doubled since the company’s Series A raise in July 2022.
With an impressive surge from 21 members just over 12 months ago to a thriving team of 43, Future Anthem is set for even more growth.
With over two-thirds of the Anthem team now comprised of data science experts, the company’s technical talent is its core competency and strength. Their specialised knowledge and skills contribute to Future Anthem’s ability to deliver personalised player experiences in real-time, creating a more immersive and engaging user environment across the casino, sports betting, and lottery verticals.
A number of new recruits have also joined from top-tier betting and gaming operators and suppliers, including William Hill, Churchill Downs, Ladbrokes Coral, Betway, and Gaming Realms.
“We are proud to have assembled a team of experts who not only possess exceptional technical abilities but also deep insights into the specific dynamics of the sports betting and gaming industry,” said Emma Ferguson, Head of People at Future Anthem.
“By harnessing the knowledge and expertise of our diverse workforce, we are well-positioned to develop AI products that address the evolving needs of our clients and drive transformative change within the industry.”
Future Anthem’s success in recruiting top talent has been reflected in its hiring and development of interns that have graduated from renowned UK universities with top master’s degrees in data science and artificial intelligence. To date, seven full-time employees began their journey as interns, highlighting Anthem’s dedication to nurturing emerging talent.
Furthermore, recruitment efforts have extended beyond technical roles with a focus on commercial hiring. This follows the recent appointment of Ann-Kathrin Baumgardt, VP of Sales and Customer Development for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), from IGT.
Committed to fostering diversity and inclusion, Future Anthem boasts a workforce comprising 16 nationalities, creating a vibrant multicultural environment. Additionally, Future Anthem has achieved a commendable – better than tech-average – 40% female and 60% male gender ratio.
To accommodate its growing team Anthem recently opened a brand-new office in Shoreditch, a tech hub in east London.
Through the rapid expansion of the team and a steadfast commitment to enhancing player experiences, Future Anthem has bolstered its award-winning real-time personalisation product, Amplifier AI, by enhancing its core modules across player acquisition, conversion, and retention, with player health interwoven across all. This strategic investment in product development and R&D enables Future Anthem to continue to empower the industry to create highly tailored and sustainable player journeys in real time.

Arizona Department of Gaming Investigation into Illegal Gambling Leads to Record-Breaking Firearms Seizure
Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) Intelligence Agents, with aid from the Arizona Department of Public Safety (“AZDPS”), successfully concluded an investigation into an alleged illegal gambling operation involving gun raffles in Tucson, Arizona.
This operation resulted in the arrest of two (2) individuals, who face multiple felony charges, and the seizure of four hundred and fifty-two (452) firearms, plus ammunition, firearm accessories, over $4000 in cash, and bank accounts.
“Record-breaking seizures like this only further highlight the criminal activity that illegal gambling establishments attract when they go unregulated, posing a significant threat to public safety,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “I commend the exceptional work of our ADG Intelligence Unit for their unwavering dedication in investigating and addressing illegal gambling activities throughout the state. Their thorough and diligent efforts play a crucial role in protecting the public and ensuring compliance with Arizona’s gaming laws. I also want to extend my appreciation to our partners at the Arizona Department of Public Safety for their vital support during this enforcement operation.”
“I would like to congratulate the Arizona Department of Gaming on this sizable seizure of weapons and ammunition. Thanks to their efforts, two criminals are off the streets, and over 450 firearms are no longer available for criminal use.” Said Colonel Jeffrey Glover, Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. “I’m proud of the work done by my agency and we will continue to assist any law enforcement agency that requests our help. Collaboration between agencies in the State of Arizona is stronger today than ever, and the AZDPS will always be dedicated to those continued partnerships.”
Following this recent enforcement action, the Arizona Department of Gaming urges residents to exercise caution when conducting raffles, bingo, or other forms of social, amusement, or charitable gambling to ensure they are in full compliance with the law. ADG takes complaints about illegal gambling seriously. To report suspected illegal gambling activity, visit our website, call (602) 255-3886, or email [email protected]. You can remain anonymous.
