Better Betting (BETR) has moved to make changes to try to aid the next stage of the company’s development, including appointing a new CTO.
David Vanrenen has been appointed chair of the foundation; Simon Collins and Velvo Vaht join the supervisory board; and IT software architect Steve Gray comes in as CTO.
Collins, founder of Gaming Realms and an experienced executive in the online gaming business, said: “I’ve known Adriaan (Brink, CEO) for many years and respect his track record in the industry. When he came to me with the BETR proposition – peer-to-peer betting on the decentralised Blockchain – I immediately invested.
“I am delighted I have been invited to join the Foundation board and look forward to working with the team to chart new territory with the BETR token.”
Collins founded Cashcade, an online bingo focused gaming business, which he sold for £96m in 2009. Gaming Realms, which Collins founded in 2013, produces digital gaming content on mobile related devices.
Velvo Vaht, an entrepreneur and partner at Finance Plus OŰ, is a tax advisor, while Vanrenen, a veteran investment manager and stockbroker and previously chair of Earthport, chairs this newly realigned board.
Coming in to head up the experienced development team, Gray brings over 20 years of development experience to the team, from leading software initiatives in large corporates to working on innovative new technologies as CTO in previous roles.
