Checkd Group appoints Dan Broda as Senior Product Manager
Fast-growing iGaming business Checkd Group has appointed Dan Broda as Senior Product Manager as it continues to roll out its innovative tech solutions.
Broda has been appointed to oversee the deployment of products developed by the Group’s award-winning Checkd Dev division, which recently delivered a fully rebuilt and future-proofed platform for Sky Sports Fantasy Football.
With extensive experience in the sports betting industry, Broda was previously a horse racing trader at Coral and a business analyst for bet365, before going on to become product owner at Sharp Gaming.
In addition to its work to develop new solutions in conjunction with high-profile media partners, Checkd Dev is also busy creating products that will power the Group’s entry into the sports betting market in the US, as a partner to a host of tier-one operators.
Checkd Group has just launched a new US-centric sports betting website and has a string of deals in place with several high-profile sportsbooks.
Adam Patton at Checkd Group said: “We are in the midst of what is a pivotal moment both for Checkd Group’s growth and that of the sports betting industry as a whole. Naturally, given the opportunities that exist, the US is on the lips of everyone as sports betting rolls out across the Atlantic, while closer to home we have been working very hard to continue to build products that resonate with our audience and provide high-quality traffic.
“The appointment of Dan, with his extensive background and industry knowledge, is a further sign of our growth ambitions around product development. In building on excellent foundations, we believe Dan is the right person to oversee our operations.”
Dan Broda, Senior Product Manager at Checkd Group, said: “Checkd Group has built a deserved reputation based around an intimate knowledge of its large sports betting community and delivering products that serve to meet that community’s needs.
“With the US launch around the corner, this is a fascinating time to be joining an ambitious and fast-growing company and I look forward to helping delivering the best possible products to our customers and partners worldwide.”
