Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has reinforced its commercial development strategy with two new appointments focused on accelerating revenue growth of its vast partnership ecosystem and delivering on the next phase of its SportX sportsbook growth, with the arrival of Andy Kelly as Head of Partnerships and Mitchell Harrison as Business Development Director for Sportsbook.
As GiG continues to deliver sustainable momentum across its full suite of platform and sportsbook solutions, the addition of two highly experienced industry professionals supports its ambition to provide deeper, more dynamic engagement with existing and prospective partners.
With over 15 years of commercial and operational leadership experience, Andy Kelly joins GiG with a proven track record in forging strategic partnerships and delivering measurable revenue growth. In his new role as Head of Partnerships, Andy will be responsible for optimising the breadth and strength of GiG’s extensive third-party platform integrations marketplace, spanning content, payments, and sportsbook supply chain.
Further to Andy’s appointment Mitchell Harrison has been appointed as Business Development Director for GiG’s SportX, the company’s sportsbook solution. With more than 7 years of iGaming business development experience at leading companies such as SBTech, DraftKings and Genius Sports, Mitch brings deep domain knowledge to the sports betting ecosystem from both a B2B and B2C perspective.
As GiG continues to build on the momentum of a strong 2024, these appointments mark a significant step forward in supporting the company’s expanding portfolio of global partners, enhancing its ability to scale operations and capitalise on increasing demand for its market-leading technology and services. The appointments signal a clear intent to capitalise on the strong trajectory of the company, ensuring it remains well positioned to serve a diverse and growing client base with world-class solutions.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Business Officer at GiG, said:
“The addition of two highly regarded people with very specialised areas of expertise will be invaluable as we continue to accelerate our global partnership strategy and drive expansion for our platform and sportsbook solutions. With our technology firmly delivering real results for operators in both established and emerging markets, their arrival further strengthens our ability to scale growth for the business.”
Andy Kelly, Head of Partnerships at GiG, said:
“I’m really excited to be joining GiG at such a pivotal time in the growth of the company. The technology we have available to existing and prospective customers is fantastic and puts us at the forefront of the industry, which was one of the many factors for joining GiG. We also want to offer our customers the best partners and suppliers to ensure they see maximum returns on investment.”.
Mitchell Harrison, Business Development Director for Sportsbook at GiG, said: “Having worked with the executive management team in highly successful circumstances before, at both SBTech and at DraftKings, I am delighted to be joining them once again on another journey that has the potential for high impact growth opportunities. What excites me about GiG is how the product is being engineered specifically to reward operators with industry-leading margin optimisation tools, robust trading capabilities, and unparalleled flexibility to adapt to local market demands.
