Microgaming appoints new Head of Business Development and Marketing

He joins the firm after four years with the leading online payment provider, where he helped grow the company from 75 to over 800 staff. He arrives during a period of sustained growth for Microgaming and at a time when it is upping its drive into new markets - both in Europe and Asia.

In the last twelve months, Microgaming has added almost 20 new poker and casino sites to its ranks and delivered on a promise to provide operators with the most aggressive games roll out schedule in the industry. Prior to Neteller, Elliott worked for GE Capital in sales and marketing. He also brings with him extensive PR and advertising experience together with a background in technology venture capital business.

Bruce Elliott says, “Having known many of the Microgaming team from my time working on the Isle of Man, it is great to now be part of what is undoubtedly one of the powerhouses of the gaming industry. It's clear to anyone from the outside that the company has been experiencing a significant level of growth in recent years and I look forward to helping continue that trend as part of their team.”

Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming, says, “We are delighted to welcome Bruce on board at an extremely exciting time in our industry. The business has expanded significantly over the past year and Bruce's experience will prove invaluable in driving this success forward across a diverse range of new markets.”
