iGaming software provider Fincore has brought in former LiveScore Group chief of staff Dave Watkins as chief commercial officer.
Watkins will spearhead business growth, strategic partnerships and client engagement as the provider looks to expand in regulated and high-growth regions.
His key focus will be to raise awareness of Fincore’s modular services, which aim to give operators and B2B suppliers greater flexibility in their technology stack.
Watkins joins Fincore after a year as director of industry consultancy company iGaming Progress.
Before that, he spent four years at LiveScore Group, initially joining as chief business development officer in January 2020 before being made chief of staff in October 2022.
Watkins has also held senior roles at Genius Sports and Oddschecker.
Mateja Popovic, CEO at Fincore, said: “Dave is one of the most well-respected commercial leaders in the industry, with a track record of success at top-tier companies like Oddschecker, Genius Sports, and LiveScore Group. His deep knowledge of the sector, strategic mindset, and extensive network make him the perfect addition to our leadership team.
“As demand for our modular platforms and micro-services accelerates, Dave’s expertise will be invaluable in ensuring operators understand how our solutions can revolutionise their business.”
Watkins said of his new role: “Fincore has built a stellar reputation for delivering cutting-edge, modular technology solutions that puts power back in the hands of operators. I’m excited to help drive the next phase of growth, working with the talented team here to expand our footprint in key markets. There’s an incredible opportunity ahead, particularly in fast-growing regions, and I can’t wait to get started.”
