The Unit, a leader in product design and development for sports betting and iGaming, has made another stellar addition to its management team with the appointment of Srdan Srepfler as Vice President, Engineering.
Not only has Srdan been in development roles for more than two decades, he also comes with an extensive background in iGaming; the bulk of which coming with industry behemoth William Hill, where he worked for more than seven years.
In his time at William Hill, Srdan’s roles included Software Developer, Senior Software Engineer, Development Team Lead and Global Platform Backend Lead.

In his four years with the company, he established the engineering department, applied agile delivery methods, designed a robust data pipeline and executed integration with the likes of Genius Sports, Sportradar, TXODDS and LSports.
Srdan will utilise his experience as The Unit continues to deliver major technology stacks across web, mobile and cross-functional platforms. The Unit designs, develops and delivers premium custom applications from interactive widgets to frontends and complicated backends, and Srdan will continue to ensure these high standards are delivered, while overseeing the next stage of the company’s development.
The Unit has made a number of notable appointments in recent months as part of a significant period of expansion for the company, with Alan Bruce joining earlier this year as Sales and Account Director, followed by Aoife Dillon as Senior Account Manager and Andy Clerkson as Chairman.
Paddy Casey, Co-founder at The Unit, said: “I would personally like to welcome Srdan to the team here at The Unit; I am very excited about the wealth of experience he can bring to the table.
“At The Unit, we have established a reputation for designing and developing robust, scalable platforms, and the addition of Srdan to the team will allow us to do that, while producing products of an even stronger quality.
“Our experienced developers, designers and technical professionals strive to ensure we can support project development and delivery, and we feel Srdan is perfectly positioned to lead our efforts in doing that.
“With our recent expansion into new territories, a brand refresh and some high-profile names like Srdan joining the team, we are well placed to build on our past success and continue to make our mark on the industry.”
Srdan Srepfler added: “It is a pleasure for me to join the team at The Unit. This is a fast-growing and exciting business, and it’s the perfect time for me to take my next step in the iGaming industry.
“I am thrilled to become a part of The Unit’s ambitious plans for growth in the coming years, and I look forward to starting on some of the upcoming projects as part of the company’s next stage of growth.
“I have spent many years developing bespoke backends with emphasis on scalability, resilience and business flexibility. This is something I am keen to continue at The Unit, and I am very pleased to be given this opportunity. I can’t wait to get started with an experienced team of fellow professionals and to help steer the next stage of The Unit’s journey.”
