New York-headquartered odds feed provider Huddle has brought in former Digitain and Genius Sports executive Iain Hutchison as senior vice president of business development.
Hutchison is tasked with spearheading the company’s commercial strategy as it enters a new phase of rapid global expansion.
Hutchison spent more than 15 years at Genius Sports, where he was an early employee and rose to the role of chief revenue officer, before moving into a similar position at Digitain.
“Huddle’s offering is not only proven, but consistently outperform, by some distance, the legacy approaches on the market,” said Francesco Borgosano, Huddle CEO and a Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 of 2026 honouree. “We want to build on this momentum, and bringing Iain onboard will help us do just that.
“Iain is someone who understands the journey from a fast-growing start-up to a global powerhouse, and his track record in delivering consistent growth speaks for itself. We’ve had some hugely constructive conversations about Huddle’s growth prospects already, and with his leadership role – which is validation of our brand strength in itself – we can now cement and scale our position as the premier supplier of complex, high margin sports betting products.”
Commenting on his appointment, Hutchison said: “Huddle has built a proven, high-performance product in the key growth sector of sports betting. The opportunity to join an expert team, building some of the most powerful trading solutions on the market, was a major appeal, and I’m ready to help deliver on the next chapter of this company’s success.
“My focus is to bring a relentless approach to growth, executing a commercial strategy that drives internal revenue and brings even greater value to our existing and future partners. We have the tech already live with leading tier-one operators, and with a tighter product focus and a strong roadmap ahead, we’re well set to open more doors and scale both quickly and robustly.”
