Following two decades of working in technology with hyper-growth companies, Alex Haywood, former Evolution Gaming Head of Engineering is joining leading media technology company – Interactive Gaming Group as CTO.

After witnessing the streaming experience evolve from waiting for videos to download, to high definition video streamed globally in milliseconds, Alex looks to apply his experience working to build streaming success stories like Evolution Gaming to drive growth and further develop IGG’s technology.

Commenting on his new role Alex said: “Having spent many years across iGaming and FinTech, I have worked inside the two key hyper growth technology spaces for almost 10 years and have witnessed what is required to succeed. Streaming is going to be one of, if not, the hyper growth market for some time in technology – and we will be on the cutting edge of that. The opportunity to work with Cristina, a key player in this space meant this was a chance too good to turn down.”

“Working with a number of major streaming success stories including Evolution Gaming, streaming has grown to be a real passion of mine. I experienced the death of Flash, the rise and the fall of RTMP, and now the latest technologies in this space such as Apple HLS, Adobe HDS or Microsoft Smooth take us to new heights. We have an incredibly exciting opportunity in front of us as we strive to maintain our position as leaders in the Streaming space while implementing our tech roadmap over the coming months and years. There’s a real opportunity to do something groundbreaking here.” He continued.

Commenting on the landmark hire, a signal of intent by fast-growing streaming pioneer IGG, CEO Cristina Niculae said: “We are delighted to have Alex joining us to lead our technology department, bringing to Interactive Gaming Group a wealth of experience. His knowledge building a world class live streaming service that has placed Evolution Gaming at the top of the immersive market will be hugely valuable for IGG in the coming months and years. Our team has been working hard to bring to life more interactive experiences driven by creators via live streaming and we are looking forward to the next products on our roadmap scheduled for launch this year. Over the last year, Interactive Gaming Group has experienced rapid growth driven by the immense demand in the recently developing streaming ecosystem and by our strategy of connecting creators, viewers and brands on a global scale. As a group we have become a leader in this space, perfectly positioned to capitalize on the growth opportunities available.”

Phantum Introduces High-End Mousepads with Collectible Packaging and Parisian Design Roots

Bridging the gap between functional hardware and considered design, Phantum debuts its first line of high-performance mousepads. The collection is built for users who demand precision but won’t compromise on aesthetics. Developed in Paris by founders Amine G. and Victor B., the mousepads combine minimalist design with carefully selected materials and collectible elements, positioning the product as a functional tool and a design object.

Created for gamers and digital creatives, Phantum’s mousepads emphasize tactile performance while remaining visually restrained. The surfaces are crafted using Japanese Poron and advanced fabrics chosen for their durability, responsiveness, and sensory qualities. Each product is designed to enhance, not distract from, the overall composition of a desk setup.

The company’s visual language draws on space, transparency, and disappearance themes, an intentional move to create objects that integrate flawlessly into a work or play environment. “Every detail reflects our DNA: clean, sharp, and futuristic,” said co-founder Amine G., whose tech-focused YouTube channel, MRG TECH, has built a following of over 200,000 subscribers. “We create tools that disappear under the hand but leave a lasting impression through design, feel, and finish.”

Phantum’s founders launched the brand after finding few products that met their standards for both performance and design integrity. The debut line is only the beginning: the team is developing glass mousepads and matching performance sleeves, with plans to expand into a broader ecosystem of desk essentials. Each new release will continue to feature collectible packaging designed to add narrative value rather than act as decoration.

Though recently launched, Phantum is already drawing attention beyond France, particularly in Latin America, where design-conscious gamers have begun to integrate the mousepads into their setups. The first collection is now available on phantum.co, with new formats and accessories to follow.
