Black Cow Technology has announced the appointment of Shelley Hannah as the company’s new COO, as the supplier continues to beef up its senior leadership team.
Hannah arrives at the supplier after a seven-year stint at Relax Gaming.
After initially joining as director of casino products in October 2018, she served as chief product officer from August 2023 onwards.
Prior to that, she worked as head of framework products and gaming partners at NetEnt between May 2017 and October 2018.
Hannah’s first foray into the industry came with Gibraltar-based supplier Odobo, where she held the role of head of delivery from April 2013 to August 2016.
She joins Black Cow Technology at a time when the firm is looking to scale at pace, following the launch of its Multiplayer Remote Game Server.
Speaking on her appointment, Hannah said: “I have always respected Black Cow Technology for its robust architecture and the exceptional skill of the technical teams.
“Joining them as they embark on an exciting new chapter, delivering multiplayer experiences as a leading industry supplier, was a thrilling opportunity that I was delighted to accept.
“With such a strong technical base, I am confident Black Cow Technology will be an industry leader in multiplayer content, and I am eager to contribute to ensuring our operations, products and delivery consistently surpass operator and partner expectations.”
Max Francis, CEO and founder of Black Cow Technology, added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Shelley Hannah to Black Cow Technology as our new COO.
“Shelley is a highly respected leader in the industry, bringing a great combination of experience, strategic vision and collaborative leadership.
“Her arrival comes at a pivotal moment for Black Cow, as we expand beyond our reputation as a backend technology supplier and move into creating and launching games ourselves.
“Multiplayer is the future of igaming, and Shelley is another reason Black Cow is going to be driving this revolution.”
Hannah becomes Black Cow Technology’s latest C-suite hire this year, following the appointment of former IGT head Ernie Lafky as chief product officer in June.
In January, the business finalised a Series A funding round led by JJK Partners.
