As SBTech’s Chief Compliance Officer he will manage, enhance and implement new and existing tools, procedures and processes to ensure the sustainability of the business model across its entire product portfolio, engaging with international regulators to both strengthen and expand the company’s global regulated market presence.

Richard Carter, CEO, SBTech, said: “Jeremie is a fantastic addition to the senior team and I’m delighted to be able to bring hm on board. His experience in setting the highest standards possible, his meticulous approach to encouraging and implementing best practice and navigating some of the most complex issues in the industry will be vital as we continue to launch in newly regulated and regulating markets.”

SBTech already sets the benchmark when it comes to compliance and I’m looking forward to the challenge of raising those standards to an even higher level across the business’s leading technology, tools and processes.

“Compliance is an enabler to sustainably and significantly growing the business and achieving even more success, and I’m very excited with the plans the company has for the future.”

SBTech further strengthened its position as the leading provider of betting and gaming solutions in regulated markets by winning the prestigious Innovation of the Year prize at the Gambling Compliance Global Regulatory Awards 2018.
