Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has brought in experienced iGaming executive Andrew Cochrane as chief business officer (CBO) of its Platform & Sportsbook division.
Cochrane has a wealth of experience in the iGaming sector and joins GiG from DraftKings, where he served as senior vice president of commercial since April 2020.
Prior to that, he spent three years at SBTech, including as chief business development officer, where he worked alongside Richard Carter, who was recently named CEO of GiG’s Platform & Sportsbook division.
“Having collaborated with him in previous endeavours, I am delighted that we have Andrew onboard to help propel our commercial efforts to unprecedented heights,” said Carter. “His previous record speaks for itself, and the appointment marks a significant coup for the business, helping us to realise the enormous potential we have here at GiG.”
Commenting on his new role, Cochrane said: “This is an extremely exciting time to be joining GiG. I have already been highly impressed with the ambitious plans in place, and in its capacity for raising the bar, building innovative and best in class solutions.
“Having been part of teams that have delivered significant results within online gaming, and with the promise of further investment to continue to strengthen our offering, I have similar optimism for success at GiG. We’re on the cusp of delivering something really special, so you can expect to hear a lot more about us over in the coming months.”
GiG is currently in the process of splitting the company into two separate entities – Platform & Sportsbook and GiG Media.
