David Flynn, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “I am delighted to welcome David to the team and for Swintt to be able to leverage his incredible expertise and unrivalled experience when it comes to technology as well as the online gambling industry.
“We have grown at pace since day one and in order to continue to drive the business forwards, we require talent of David’s calibre. I look forward to working with him closely as we improve our technologies and processes which in turn will enable us to shift up another gear.”
David Flood, Chief Technology Officer at Swintt, said: “I am incredibly excited to be joining Swintt and to be given the opportunity to play a part in taking the business to the next level.
“My remit is to really get things into shape from a technology perspective so that Swintt is capable of entering any new jurisdiction with minimal friction and as quickly as possible. I already have a great foundation to work with but believe I can bring a lot to the table.
“I’d like to thank David for giving me such a warm welcome and I now look forward to getting on with the task at hand.”
