As the head of product for Paddy Power Betfair, Pat Bruce played a massive role in a game-changing project that has lessened the company’s reliance on Playtech and allowed it to reshape the gaming experience for Paddy Power and Betfair customers.

Flutter could not have placed its future in better hands.
