Manning brings over 25 years of experience working in the Fintech and iGaming industries and joins the newly rebranded company from Light & Wonder, where he was CTO of iGaming.

“Everyone at LCKY Group is absolutely thrilled to have Alex on board at what is undoubtedly a key moment in the ongoing evolution of our business,” said LCKY Group CEO Richard Brown. “Alex joins us with vast experience of working in regulated markets across Fintech and iGaming, and this expertise combined with his exceptional track record for delivering smooth scale-ups and digital transformations make him ideally suited for the role of group CTO.”
Commenting on his appointment, Manning said: “I’m very excited to be joining LCKY Group at a time when the company is laser-focused on building broader international resonance and appeal in core regulated markets.
“As new group CTO, my number one priority will be building on the amazing culture that already exists within the group to create a high-performance environment where teams flourish, innovation thrives and each in-house brand gets the spotlight it deserves.”
