Andrew Cochrane Joins Gaming Supplier GiG

Gaming technology supplier GiG has made waves in the industry with the appointment of Andrew Cochrane, previously a senior vice-president at DraftKings. This move comes shortly after his former colleague, Richard Carter, was named the CEO of Platform & Sportsbook, a division that is being spun off into its own standalone business. The duo aims to elevate GiG's commercial efforts to new heights.

As a key player in GiG's expansion plans, Cochrane will be responsible for implementing the company's commercial strategies. His initial focus will be on attracting industry talent to support the company's global growth objectives. He brings a strong track record, having significantly contributed to SBTech's revenue growth and the establishment of DraftKings in the US market.

Carter and Cochrane plan to drive growth for GiG's innovative product suite through new partnerships in emerging markets worldwide. Their goal is to solidify GiG's position as a market leader for turnkey solutions.

Cochrane's role at GiG will span various business areas, including business development, marketing, partnerships, and corporate development. He will be tasked with implementing GiG's commercial strategies across its complete range of igaming platforms, sportsbook offerings, and AI-driven solutions.

Commenting on his new role, Cochrane expressed his excitement about joining GiG during a period of ambitious plans and innovation. He envisions the company as being on the brink of delivering something remarkable, with a promise of further investments to strengthen their offerings.

GiG revealed plans to divide its business into two separate entities after a strategic review. This initiative will separate Platform & Sportsbook from the Media division, allowing both to operate as independent publicly listed companies. The division aims to sharpen the focus of each segment, optimizing growth opportunities and ensuring strategic and financial flexibility for each business.
