Netkan has added to its senior team with the recruitment of Dominic Le Garsmeur and Simon Teppett.

Le Garsmeur has joined from bwin.party and will fill the role of product director, a position left vacant by Richard Sagman’s relocation to Netkan’s US operation.

He said: “I’m really excited to be joining the team here at Netkan and building on the great foundations that the team have already put in place. My focus will be on continuing to create innovative and fun content, optimised for mobile and tablet devices, that our clients both existing and new really need.”

Teppett takes over as chief technology officer and aims to recreate the success he enjoyed as head of mobile and TV technology at Betfair.

He said: “I was drawn to Netkan by their single-minded belief in mobile-first gaming and their restless desire for quality and innovation. I’m looking forward to working with this visionary team to deliver world-class gaming and content.”

Geoff Read, CEO of Netkan, said: “I am absolutely delighted to be welcoming both Dominic and Simon to the senior management team and working with them over the coming months and years as we roll out our mobile real money and freemium products.”

“Attracting industry executives of this calibre to Netkan really shows our intent as we look to disrupt the established Casino and Bingo industry verticals.”
