ASX-listed operator adds former TSG exec to lead tech team and ex-Racing.com chief to run business Down Under
PointsBet has appointed a new chief technology officer and CEO of its Australian business in a reshuffle of its senior management team.
The operator has named Jerry Bowskill as its new CTO, who joins from Capital International Group where he has served as CTO since January 2020.
Bowskill also served as CTO at The Stars Group between June 2017 and June 2019, and also recently acted as a strategic advisor to Northern & Shell in its bid for the fourth UK National Lottery licence.
He will replace Manjit Gombra Singh, who is set to become a non-executive director with the Australia-based operator.
He will assume the role on 18 July.
Sam Swanell, PointsBet Group CEO, said: “Jerry has a wealth of gaming technology experience across numerous organisations and brings key leadership and technology capabilities to the global business as we continue to drive our technology strategy forward.”
Speaking on his arrival, Bowskill commented: “I am delighted to be joining Sam and the leadership team. PointsBet has invested in building a talented delivery organisation that uses modern technologies to create great products.
“I am greatly looking forward to helping accelerate the pace of product innovation and business scale across multiple jurisdictions,” he added.
Elsewhere, the company has named Andrew Catterall and the group’s CEO for Australia.
Catterall was previously CEO of Racing.com and held senior leadership positions at both Racing Victoria and the Australian Football League.
On Catterall’s appointment, Swanell added: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew Catterall, who joins our business with a track record of end-to-end commercial and strategy leadership experience at the AFL, RVL and Racing.com.
“As the Australian business heads towards our third consecutive year of impressive growth and EBITDA profitability, Andrew has been provided a mandate to continue this growth and to seek out important strategic opportunities which can strengthen the business.”
