PandaScore, the leading esports data and odds provider, has added more talent to its growing team of specialists with the appointment of David Trehondart as Head of Customer Success.

David has been tasked with ensuring that customers unlock as much value as possible from PandaScore’s platform and suite of products, as well as building strong and long-lasting client relationships.

PandaScore is dedicated to leveraging its deep in-house technical experience and industry knowledge to help clients grow. As part of that, Trehondart will ensure a smooth technical integration, identify performance improvement opportunities and involve customers with the product.

David has a background in finance and tech having held senior roles at top level companies such as Uber and Palantir, where he gained experience working with high-profile B2B clients. He also holds an MBA from the London Business School.

Flavien Guillocheau, CEO at PandaScore, said: “David is an incredible talent, and we are thrilled to welcome him to PandaScore as Head of Customer Success.

Having people from the world’s leading data companies like Palantir join PandaScore and bring their invaluable experience in solving even the most complex and challenging cases, and overall world-class customer success experience, is immensely important to us.

“While operators are aware of esports and the growing need to offer esports betting to players, many still need support in order to unlock the full potential of both the vertical itself and our platform full of innovative features and tools. Offering assistance, guidance and tools to improve performance, identify product needs and growth potential – David will proactively lead these initiatives for PandaScore, allowing our clients to deliver compelling esports betting experiences to their players.”

Team Vitality has signed a strategic partnership with French Fortnite esports club Team Havok, expanding its footprint in the title as part of its broader diversification strategy. The announcement was made this weekend.

Under the deal, Team Havok will compete as “Team Havok by Vitality” and wear a co-branded jersey featuring Team Vitality’s logo. Team Vitality said the partnership is designed to combine its performance and organisational support with Team Havok’s Fortnite competitive presence.

Team Havok’s recent results cited by the organisations include winning European Major 2 in 2025, finishing runner-up at the World Championship, and ranking as the second-best European team. The duo Tjino and PabloWingu have qualified for this summer’s Esports World Cup and will compete in Team Vitality’s black and yellow colours.

Team Vitality also positioned the partnership as a fan development play in France via co-streaming, content creation, and influencer-led activations. Team Havok co-founders and streamers ZetFar and WaZz were highlighted for their reach with younger audiences.

The organisation said the tie-up follows prior structural collaborations including PSG Esports and Bigetron Esports, and could expand into Fortnite map development, exclusive merchandising, and influencer marketing. “This partnership with Team Havok reflects our ambition to work with the best in order to continue growing Team Vitality. Their performance, creativity, and ability to engage the French community make them an ideal partner,” said Fabien “Neo” Devide, President and Co-founder of Team Vitality. “We are incredibly proud to join Team Vitality. This collaboration with such a prestigious organisation marks a new milestone in the story we are building with our community,” said Grimz, caster at Team Havok.
