Gauselmann Group-owned Bede Gaming has expanded its executive team with the promotion of Andrew Humphreys to the newly created role of chief product engineering officer.
Humphreys has spent over 13 years with the supplier, climbing the ranks at Bede from a front-end developer and solution architect, progressing through several positions of leadership including technology lead and head of product engineering.
In the newly created C-level position, he will retain responsibility for the delivery of products and features for Bede’s platform, including player account management, player engagement and front-end web and app.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Andrew to the Executive team,” said Bede CEO Colin Cole-Johnson. “He has already demonstrated exemplary leadership and strategic thinking in managing our product development workstreams. Andrew has a keen eye for measurement, optimisation and continuous improvement that I’m sure will take our product engineering functions from strength to strength.”
Commenting on his appointment, Humphreys said: “This promotion is an exciting step forward in my career, and one of many highlights that I have enjoyed during my time at Bede. As an engineering leader, I aspire to bridge the gap between our customers and our development teams.
“By fostering these relationships, we have delivered cross-functional, end-to-end solutions to an exceptional standard. I’m passionate about what we’ve built so far at Bede, and I’m excited to continue innovating with such a talented, dedicated team. I couldn’t see myself working anywhere else.”
The introduction of the new product engineering C-Suite position comes as Bede chief operating officer Paul Dinning announces his retirement at the end of 2025, after nine years with the company.
