Former Red Tiger executive Dave Avila is one to watch after his transition from senior operations and compliance roles with major B2B and B2C companies to industry entrepreneur. He has founded the newest and one of the most interesting game certification laboratories in the industry in Risk Cherry, where he is quietly marching into the independent testing space like no-one has before. Game certification has very high barriers to entry and requires years of patience by a team of lawyers, developers and mathematicians.

Combine that with the dominance of the incumbent players and downward price pressure in the sector, and this is a very bold move. However, just three years in, his team is approved in ten regulated markets with many more on their roadmap. Dave has proved in record time that certification can be more efficient and effective than ever before. Early clients rave about Risk Cherry. Dave’s company is the future of game certification, and with the recent addition of industry veteran Rob Fell to the team, we expect great things from Risk Cherry in 2023.
