Former Playtech and Kambi board member and Kindred CFO joins award-winning sportsbook and casino platform provider

Award-winning platform provider FSB has appointed highly experienced industry executive Susan Ball to its board as it continues to strengthen its senior team and expand its presence across emerging and existing markets.

FSB’s new Non-Executive Director brings many years of board-level gaming and sports betting industry experience to the company with roles at Playtech, Kambi, Kindred and Praesepe respectively. Ball most recently spent time on Playtech’s board chairing its audit committee and as a member of its risk and compliance, remuneration and nominations committees.

She previously served for four years on the board of sports betting technology supplier Kambi, was Chief Financial Officer of Stockholm-listed operator Unibet (now Kindred Group) between 2002 and 2007 and was finance chief for gambling business Praesepe.

Ball will sit on FSB’s board in an advisory capacity and work closely with CEO Dave McDowell and his senior management team to guide the business during a period of planned rapid growth and expansion across new and established markets including Africa, Latin America and the US.

Her appointment comes hot on the heels of several other senior FSB recruits in 2020 including new Chief Financial Officer Andrew Bowen (ACA) and new Business Development Director Rob Wheeler, who will lead the company’s sales team as it extends its scope and influence across the industry following significant capital investment from Clairvest Group in mid-2019.

Susan Ball, Non-Executive Director, FSB, said: “I’m delighted to join FSB Technology. It is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside such an experienced, driven and motivated senior management team who are passionate about delivering FSB’s high performance, advanced technology and rapidly growing the business across a wide range of exciting new markets.”

David McDowell, CEO at FSB, added: “Susan is a first-class addition to the company’s executive board. Her vast industry expertise and experience will play a vital role in taking the company to its next level of growth. We’re thrilled she has chosen to join us.”

 

FSB’s proprietary gaming platform also includes over 3000 casino games, virtual sports and lottery solutions from the industry’s leading suppliers and is delivered as a fully managed service, together with powerful CMS and CRM tools to deliver the best possible customer experience

Jelly completes C-level reshuffle

Jelly Entertainment, the iGaming B2B supplier, has appointed Steven Matsell as CEO. With over 20 years in the industry, Matsell brings deep experience, having held leadership roles as Director for GTS Plc and CEO for Leander Games, acquired by RAW in 2022.

To support the company’s continued sales success and growth, David Newstead will transition to the role of Chief Business Development Officer. In this new capacity, Newstead will focus on expanding Jelly’s market presence and driving the development of the company’s sales funnel. Matsell succeeds Newstead as CEO of Jelly, a position Newstead has held since 2020.

Newstead stated that Jelly is at “an important juncture” and praised Steven’s appointment, saying, “Steven has a great working rapport with me, aligns perfectly with the culture and character we’ve built, and has been with us from the beginning, playing a key role in driving our success. I couldn’t think of anyone better to lead us into our next growth phase.”

Reflecting on his time as CEO, Newstead shared, “It’s been an honour to watch Jelly grow into a globally recognized B2B supplier. Now feels like the right time to step aside, and I’m confident the company is in great hands with Steven.”

This move is part of a broader leadership restructuring at Jelly, with Silvio Insigne joining as CFO in June and Kim Eaglestone and Salvador Lima recently appointed as COO and CCO, respectively.

In his first remarks as CEO, Matsell expressed enthusiasm: “Stepping into this role excites me, and I’m inspired by the talented team around me. My goal is to build on the strong foundation David established, accelerating growth and new market expansion while upholding our commitment to service, relationships, and values.”

Thanking Newstead, Matsell added, “David has been key in building Jelly into what it is today. His determination and resilience have driven much of our success, and his move to Chief Business Development Officer will allow him to focus on his true strength – developing new business opportunities and nurturing international partnerships.”

With new developments underway, Jelly’s leadership is setting the stage for continued growth into 2025 and beyond.
