The trusted sportsbook technology and solutions provider, Kambi Group, strengthened its senior-level team with a new appointment.

Kambi hires former SKS365 People and Operations officer

Earlier this week, the company confirmed it hired Brian Dean.

Joining Kambi, the former SKS365 People and Operations executive was appointed to the role of Chief People Officer.

In his role, Dean brings extensive experience after holding a number of similar roles in globally recognizable companies.

The new Chief People Officer will be in charge of Kambi's entire global people strategy.

His responsibilities include overseeing and evolving the company's culture, as well as fostering talent and leadership.

Part of Dean's efforts in his new role at Kambi will be dedicated to growing the gaming provider's diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The new Chief People Officer will also be responsible for "enriching the employee experience across all locations," as explained in a press release from Kambi.

Dean shared his excitement, revealing that it is thrilling to join Kambi and hold such a key role.

"The company's emphasis on innovation and its people-first approach deeply resonated with me," the new Chief People Officer added.

Last but not least, Dean said: "I look forward to working closely with Werner and the leadership team to build on Kambi's strong foundation and cultivate a workplace culture where employees can thrive and achieve their full potential."

Werner Becher, Kambi's CEO, was equally thrilled to see an executive of Dean's rank join the company's senior-level team.

Welcoming the executive to the C-suite, the CEO spoke about the importance of the Chief People Officer's appointment which reaffirms Kambi's dedication to its people.

"As we establish ourselves as the home of premium sports betting solutions, having someone of Brian's caliber and experience in this critical role will ensure we can both attract and retain the best talent in the industry to drive the company forward," explained Becher in conclusion.

Before joining Kambi, Dean was part of the executive-level team at SKS365, a recognizable gaming and betting operator with a solid presence in Europe.

During his tenure with the company, he held the role of Chief People Officer/Chief Operations Officer for more than six years.

Besides SKS365, Dean was also part of other globally recognizable brands, including Vodafone, HSBC and Barclays, among others.

Last year, Kambi extended its sportsbook alliance with Rush Street Interactive.

The deal saw the two companies renegotiate an update and continue their successful collaboration.
