Roberto Villani appointed Head of iGaming at European payments innovator TrueLayer

TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking platform, has announced that Roberto Villani has joined the firm as its Head of iGaming.
A highly experienced commercial manager and payments specialist with deep expertise in the iGaming sector, Roberto will define and manage TrueLayer’s strategy for iGaming alongside Truelayer’s Chief Revenue Officer Max Emilson and UK Country Manager Jamie Morton.
“Open banking is creating a huge opportunity for the industry to embrace innovation – from supporting responsible gambling initiatives through enhanced player identification and affordability checks, to faster payments that deliver a better player experience. TrueLayer is leading the way as a positive force in the industry with PayDirect, enabling players to receive instant payouts,” Villani commented. “I’m looking forward to working with operators across Europe, helping them to maximise the benefits of open banking with TrueLayer by providing a better end-to-end player experience, from setting up an account through to instantly receiving their winnings.”
Prior to TrueLayer, Roberto was responsible for business development and sales for Online and Retail Gaming at payment provider Trustly. With over a decade of experience in iGaming, he was also responsible for growth, revenue generation and relationship management of key accounts in Europe and emerging markets at Microgaming, an award-winning online gaming software provider.
“iGaming operators are experiencing increasing margin and regulatory pressures, especially those operating in the UK and mainland Europe. Increasingly, many see open banking as an answer to these issues, whether reducing payments processing fees, increasing conversion rates, or solving verification processes,” commented Jamie Morton, UK Country Manager. “As we continue to expand, we need people who understand the nuances of the different operators and the markets they play in. That is why we’re delighted that Roberto has joined us, bringing his expertise in iGaming and payments. With his strong track record of working with the biggest names in the industry throughout Europe, I have no doubt he will help take us to the next level.”
