A leading British gaming corporation has announced two key leadership additions to strengthen its executive team. Seasoned industry professional David Hammond will assume the position of Chief Commercial Officer for the United Kingdom, while Jon Knapman has been named to the identical role with a focus on global markets.
Hammond possesses a wealth of knowledge, having held executive roles at industry titans such as Inspired Gaming and Paddy Power Betfair. His notable background also includes positions as COO of SBTech and SVP at DraftKings. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Hammond is an avid horse racing aficionado, owning multiple racehorses in Ireland and participating in racing partnerships. This profound understanding of the sport aligns seamlessly with the company’s objectives.
Knapman’s principal objective will be to drive the expansion of the group’s business-to-business operations worldwide. Capitalizing on the company’s recent triumphs in areas like South Africa, Hong Kong, and the United States, Knapman will spearhead the identification and exploitation of emerging market prospects.
Alex Frost, the group’s CEO, conveyed his excitement regarding the appointments, remarking, “We are delighted to have Dave join our team. Our international expansion in recent years has been exceptional, and with even greater possibilities ahead, we are certain that Dave’s proficiency will be crucial in sustaining this course.”
Hammond conveyed his enthusiasm for becoming a part of the Tote organization, highlighting his keenness to work alongside Alex, Jon, and the whole crew. He feels this alliance will bolster Tote’s already formidable presence within the UK market.
