Playbook Engineering has expanded its executive team with the appointment of Jonathan Chilton as its new chief operating officer (COO).
This hire is the latest in a series of appointments within the business over the past few months, following on from Luke Cousins joining the company as commercial director in July.
Chilton has over 19 years of industry experience and joins Playbook from GM Gaming Limited, a Betway group limited company, which is part of Super Group/SGHC, where he held various positions over the past six years including CEO/COO, operations director and executive director.
Previously, Chilton has worked in South Africa, including 12 years at Osiris Trading working within a variety of roles at the Johannesburg-based company.
With Playbook continuing to expand its offering on a global scale, Chilton brings a vast knowledge of operational and strategic management, governance and compliance to his position.
This latest appointment enhances Playbook’s reputation as a global player within sports and casino, thanks to its state-of-the-art development of its technology whilst providing the best player experience on the market.
Chilton said: “I am delighted to join Playbook at such a critical point in their journey and am very excited about contributing to the company’s strategy and ambition to take their platform global.
“I have inherited an amazing team from my predecessor and hope to build on its success and potential, but also looking at maturing regulated markets such as in the US or Ontario, which can be difficult markets to penetrate but ultimately very valuable.”
