Huddle has appointed former Digitain chief revenue officer (CRO) Iain Hutchison as its new senior vice-president of business development to aid the supplier’s commercial strategy.
Hutchison arrives from Digitain. He joined the Armenia-based business in February 2023 from Extraspective, where he’d served as CEO.
Before Extraspective, he spent 15 years with Genius Sports. Initially joining in September 2005 as a sales director, he became commercial director in October 2011.
In February 2017, he took on the additional role of CRO before departing in 2020.
Midway through February, Hutchison announced he was transitioning from CRO to a non-executive role at Digitain.
Now with Huddle, Hutchison will be tasked with helping to accelerate the provider’s commercial growth across the globe and shaping its “next chapter” in regulated markets.
Francesco Borgosano, Huddle CEO, said: “Iain is someone who understands the journey from a fast-growing startup to a global powerhouse, and his track record in delivering consistent growth speaks for itself.
“We’ve had some hugely constructive conversations about Huddle’s growth prospects already, and with his leadership role – which is validation of our brand strength in itself – we can now cement and scale our position as the premier supplier of complex, high margin sports betting products.”
On his appointment, Hutchison added: “Huddle has built a proven, high-performance product in the key growth sector of sports betting.
“The opportunity to join an expert team, building some of the most powerful trading solutions on the market, was a major appeal, and I’m ready to help deliver on the next chapter of this company’s success.
“My focus is to bring a relentless approach to growth, executing a commercial strategy that drives internal revenue and brings even greater value to our existing and future partners.
“We have the tech already live with leading tier-one operators, and with a tighter product focus and a strong roadmap ahead, we’re well set to open more doors and scale both quickly and robustly.”
