Geolocation solutions provider Xpoint has appointed Shaan Devaraj as chief technology officer (CTO).

Devaraj will work closely with CEO Manu Gambhir and the broader executive team to guide Xpoint’s engineering team, with a focus on the continued development of geolocation technology.

Devaraj has held a number of senior and C-level positions within the iGaming sector and most recently served as CTO of United Interactive, where he launched the iGaming platform Symphony and the B2C brand Bet United.

He also spent more than a decade at the then-IGT-owned DoubleDown Interactive, where he held several senior technology roles, including director of software development and architecture.

“We are thrilled to welcome Shaan to Xpoint, bringing his extensive experience in the iGaming industry and in developing innovative geolocation solutions for regulated markets,” said Gambhir. “He joins us at an exciting time for the company as we continue the recent commercial momentum.”

Devaraj commented: “It’s an honour to join Xpoint as CTO. I look forward to helping the company grow by strengthening our technology, supporting our teams, and turning our big ideas into real results.

“I’m also excited to collaborate with the leadership team in continuing their commitment to pushing boundaries.”
