OddsMatrix appoints new chief product officer

OddsMatrix has appointed former Paddy Power Betfair alumnus Martin Clarke as its new chief product officer (CPO).

Clarke joins the sportsbook division of EveryMatrix from IT consulting firm Confidential and will report to CEO Tor Skeie, who joined the firm in February 2023.

Clarke’s previous experience in the igaming industry came from his seven-year stint at Paddy Power Betfair, where he helped develop multiple products for the operator, including cash out, fast markets and bet builder.

He also spent time at B2B sports betting provider Metric Gaming between September 2018 and March 2022, assisting with the rebuild of the firm’s B2B platform and its proprietary horseracing, football and US sports products.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO of EveryMatrix, said: “I’m thrilled that someone of Martin’s calibre and track record has joined OddsMatrix. He is a sports product superstar and has worked on some of the most memorable and game-changing betting features of the last decade.

“Martin’s arrival proves we are on the right path to accelerate our growth and success as we continue to attract major tier-1 operators, providing them with industry-leading software and services that take their brands to the next dimension.”

Clarke added: “I’m very pleased to join EveryMatrix, whose OddsMatrix platform, products and services are turning heads and making a massive difference to some of the biggest global brands. I’m really looking forward to working with Tor and the team and supporting them with some exciting plans in 2023 and beyond.”
