Senior Vice President, Americas – OpenBet
Don is recognised for his transformative impact on the global gambling industry, driving strategic market entry and technology adoption for OpenBet across the Americas. He has delivered significant commercial expansion for the supplier into Brazil’s newly regulated market via landmark deals with GSS and Band – two of Brazil’s largest media conglomerates – to power the end-to-end operations of TQJ and BandBet.
He has also advanced the industry’s commitment to integrity by championing the widespread adoption of OpenBet’s AI-powered responsible gaming solution, Neccton, and strategically deployed the company’s new geolocation tool, OpenBet Locator, with major partners such as Fanatics during the product’s first live year. After nearly 20 years’ service in the gambling sector, which includes stints at Ongame, Amaya, NYX and SG Digital, Don finally gets the recognition he deserves as a worthy Hot 50 winner.
