Midnite appoints former Sky Betting & Gaming head to lead product design

Esports betting startup operator Midnite has appointed former Sky Betting & Gaming (SBG) head Lewis Bamber as its new senior product designer.

Bamber joins the London-based operator after nearly two years as a product designer at SBG.

During his time at SBG, Bamber led the design of SBG’s BuildABet product and Olympia, SBG’s design system.

His tenure at SBG was his first position in the igaming industry, with his previous roles coming at payment solutions provider VibePay and student accommodation marketplace Housemates.

In his new role with Midnite, Bamber will play a key role in shaping Midnite’s current portfolio of products as well as future products as the company look to expand following a successful 2022.

Nick Wright, Midnite co-founder, said: “Lewis’s arrival is a coup for our growing company and his achievements at Sky Bet show he has an outstanding track record.

“We’re in a period of phenomenal growth at Midnite, and we have huge ambitions to continue our progress.

“World-leading product design and user experience are top of our priorities as we continue to create innovative, engaging products and Lewis is the perfect fit to play a key role in helping us achieve our goals,” he added.

Bamber commented: “It’s a really exciting time to join Midnite and I’m looking forward to working with the team as we continue to improve the product, introduce great new features and add more verticals we know fans will love.”
