Former Mecca Digital COO Leon Thomas has joined Instant Win Gaming (IWG) as the supplier’s new chief commercial officer.
The new IWG CCO will be based at the firm’s London base and is responsible for growing the company’s industry position, as well as building upon and creating partnerships with lotteries and commercial brands.
Thomas left the Rank Group last year as part of a major online restructure, which saw the firm launch a 60-day redundancy consultation with approximately 50% of its Gibraltar-based digital staff asked to re-apply for jobs.
The former Mecca COO was previously managing director of NYX Gaming’s US operations, and also enjoyed a three-year stint as MD of tombola.
Commenting on his new role, Thomas said: “My previous experience makes this a perfect fit and I look forward to helping IWG cement its position as the world leader in instant win gaming.”
Rhydian Fisher, CEO at IWG, added: “He has succeeded in our industry for many years now and the experience he brings will be invaluable to the future success of our company as we continue to grow into the wider commercial sector.”
