Homa appoints Henry Lowenfels as its new President and Chief Business Officer
Homa, the world’s leading mobile game publisher, is pleased to announce the appointment of Henry Lowenfels as its new President and Chief Business Officer (CBO).
With extensive experience in the mobile gaming industry and a strong track record, Henry will join Homa’s executive team contributing to the company’s growth and achievement of strategic plans.
Henry boasts extensive experience in the gaming industry, having held leadership roles in key companies such as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Scopely and Chief Product Officer at OneTeam Partners. He joined Scopely in its early stages in 2012 and made his way to the executive team playing a vital role in the company’s development, culminating in its $4.9 billion acquisition by Savvy Games Group in 2023. Over his eight-year tenure at Scopely, Henry’s contribution was instrumental in reshaping the company’s publishing approach and securing significant licensing deals for popular IPs like Monopoly Go!, Star Trek™ Fleet Command, Walking Dead: Road to Survival, and WWE Champions. He also led the Corporate Development team through important M&A deals including the acquisition of Digit Games and FoxNet, and fostered Scopely’s strong developer ecosystem, partnering with studios across four continents. These include renowned names like IUGO, Boss Fight, Mediatonic, and Aquiris, thereby solidifying the company’s industry presence. Furthermore, during his time at OneTeam Partners, he was responsible for overseeing video game and web3 product strategy and business development of the company, growing the business from a $300 million valuation when he joined to a $1.9 billion exit just over two years later.
Leveraging his strong background in business development and publishing, Lowenfels will support Homa in enhancing organizational performance and growth through strategic partnerships. His contributions will help drive the company’s vision and strengthen its positioning as a leading player in the mobile gaming industry, with a focus on innovation and emerging genres such as hybridcasual, a field in which the company has already taken significant steps. Homa recently doubled down its hybridcasual division and is strengthening its cutting-edge tech platform “Homa Lab” for empowered hybridcasual publishing.
“We are delighted to welcome Henry to our team” stated Daniel Nathan, Founder & CEO at Homa. “We’re confident that his extensive experience in the entertainment industry and his business development approach will have an important positive impact on the growth of the company. We look forward to working closely with him to push the boundaries of mobile gaming and continue empowering game creators and ourselves to create chart-topping games”.
Lowenfels has also expressed his excitement to join Homa and contribute to its continued success. “Homa is a pioneering force in the mobile gaming industry, and I am honored to become part of this growing, disruptive and ambitious team,” said Henry. “The company is undergoing an amazing expansion stage right now and I’m excited to contribute to it and further position Homa as a leader in the gaming space.”
With Lowenfels’ appointment, Homa continues its commitment to hiring top talent to drive growth, innovation, and disruption in the mobile gaming industry.

Vegangster Gives Operators Real-Time Jackpot Control and a New Revenue Stream with Sharedluck’s JackpotX
Platform provider Vegangster has completed the integration of JackpotX, a flexible jackpot engine developed by Sharedluck, giving operators a new way to run scalable jackpot campaigns across brands and game catalogues. The integration focuses on player-contribution jackpots, creating an additional revenue stream for operators.
JackpotX provides more granular control than traditional jackpot tools. Operators can configure several jackpot tiers, define custom triggers, and adjust campaign parameters in real time without downtime. This makes it easier to launch targeted campaigns quickly and align jackpots with specific retention or promotional objectives.
With the integration, Vegangster clients can manage jackpots directly inside their existing back office. Campaigns can be linked to selected brands, game groups, or specific player cohorts, with real-time performance insights available through Sharedluck’s dashboards. This helps teams monitor engagement, track contribution levels, and optimise campaigns while they are Running.
For players, jackpot values update in real time across all touchpoints, including lobby displays, game interfaces, and promotional banners, creating visible momentum as prizes grow. This transparency drives catalogue exploration and extends session time, giving operators a practical tool for supporting both short-term promotional bursts and longer-term engagement Strategies.
Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, said:
“Jackpots remain one of the clearest levers for engagement in online casinos. Sharedluck built an engine that offers operators the level of precision and flexibility they expect from modern tools. With JackpotX inside Vegangster, teams can run customised jackpot campaigns at the speed their operations require.”
The partnership brings Sharedluck’s jackpot engine directly into Vegangster’s ecosystem, giving operators a straightforward way to deploy contribution-based jackpots and track performance through real-time analytics.
Chris Scicluna, Co-Founder at Sharedluck, said:
“We are excited to bring JackpotX to Vegangster operators. In successful campaigns, we have seen higher retention, longer session times, stronger conversion from casual to regular play, and clear uplift in VIP-focused promotions. We look forward to seeing Vegangster clients achieve similar results.”
The integration is now available for all Vegangster operators. Existing clients can enable JackpotX through their account manager, with configuration handled inside the Vegangster back office and supported by Sharedluck’s analytics dashboards. New operators can access the module during onboarding as part of their standard setup process.
Operators can get a closer look at JackpotX at ICE Barcelona, Fira Barcelona Gran Via, 19–21 January 2026, with live demos available at stand 1E20.
