ParlayBay, a forward-thinking provider of sports betting games, is pleased to announce the appointment of Paolo Gazzei as its new Chief Information Officer. This strategic hire comes at a pivotal time as ParlayBay sets its sights on accelerated global expansion.
Gazzei steps into this role amid an exciting growth phase for ParlayBay, recently bolstered by a significant agreement to supply its premier cricket content to 96.com, thus expanding its presence in the Asian market.
In his capacity as CIO, Gazzei will spearhead the development of a broader range of betting models and expand the variety of games within ParlayBay’s portfolio. He will particularly focus on enhancing in-play and micro betting opportunities, key areas of growth for the company.
Gazzei brings a wealth of experience to ParlayBay, having previously served as the Chief Technology Officer at sports betting game provider KONECT for three years. His extensive background in the igaming industry also includes leadership roles such as Head of Sportsbook Unit at SBTech, Head of Software Development and Projects at GoldBet, and CEO of Betgenius Estonia.
Paolo Gazzei, Chief Information Officer at ParlayBay, said: “With so many ongoing developments at ParlayBay, now is a really exciting time to join the team as the company continues to grow rapidly around the world with its range of unique sports betting games.
“The popularity of micro betting is firmly on the rise, and I am looking forward to using my experience in developing engaging sports betting games to help ParlayBay widen its net even further when it comes to products and partners.”
Fredrik Elmqvist, Executive Chairman at ParlayBay, said: “Sports betting is becoming more nuanced, and enhanced in-play and micro betting are all about superior prediction models and the ecosystem that surrounds them.
“Paolo arrives with great experience in this field and knows how to build a strong delivery team, whether that be architecture, tech stack leadership or collaboration with other partners. We are thrilled to have Paolo onboard. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the role and I have no doubt that he will elevate our offering even further.”
