Hutchison brings a unique and valuable track record of guiding companies from start-up stage through to major scale. His deep experience in navigating growth opportunities will be critical in shaping Huddle’s next chapter in regulated markets, leveraging a growing product base, which now includes tennis and soccer alongside its core US sports offering.

At Genius Sports, where he was an early employee, Hutchison rose to the role of Chief Revenue Officer over a 15-year period, before moving into a similar position at Digitain. Hutchison has acquired deep expertise and connections in the sports betting space, and this potent combination of C-level leadership and experience of delivering tangible growth will be a major asset for Huddle going forward.

Iain Hutchison, SVP of Business Development at Huddle, commented on his appointment: “Huddle has built a proven, high-performance product in the key growth sector of sports betting. The opportunity to join an expert team, building some of the most powerful trading solutions on the market, was a major appeal, and I’m ready to help deliver on the next chapter of this company’s success.

“My focus is to bring a relentless approach to growth, executing a commercial strategy that drives internal revenue and brings even greater value to our existing and future partners. We have the tech already live with leading tier-one operators, and with a tighter product focus and a strong roadmap ahead, we’re well set to open more doors and scale both quickly and robustly.”

Francesco Borgosano, CEO at Huddle, added: “Huddle’s offering is not only proven, but consistently outperform, by some distance, the legacy approaches on the market. We want to build on this momentum, and bringing Iain onboard will help us do just that.

“Iain is someone who understands the journey from a fast-growing start-up to a global powerhouse, and his track record in delivering consistent growth speaks for itself. We’ve had some hugely constructive conversations about Huddle’s growth prospects already, and with his leadership role – which is validation of our brand strength in itself – we can now cement and scale our position as the premier supplier of complex, high margin sports betting  products.”
