Videoslots onboards former Paddy Power and Betfair veteran in new C-level hire
Eamonn Faulkner joins the online casino operator as its new chief operating officer
Videoslots has hired Eamonn Faulkner as its new chief operating officer to boost the operator’s engagement across all areas and teams.
Faulkner assumed the role in July and joins the firm from Ireland-based media company First International Media, where he was director of operations since October 2020.
On his appointment to the role, Faulkner said: “Every career milestone I have passed thus far has led me to Videoslots, and I am thrilled to be here.
“My strengths lie in achieving high impact customer and commercial outcomes, and a dynamic company such as this offers the perfect environment to develop my skills further.”
Faulkner brings 16 years of industry experience to the role.
His most recent industry role came as the head of sportsbook B2C at SBTech, a position he held from March 2018 to June 2019.
Before this, Faulkner was director of operations at Matchbook for over a year, from February 2017 to March 2018. This came after just under four years at Betfair, where he held the roles of trading projects manager, head of real-time comms and head of sportsbook operations.
Ulle Skottling, deputy CEO at Videoslots, said: “Eamonn’s dedication to delivering successful working relationships at all levels makes him the perfect addition to the Videoslots team.
“His enthusiasm for the role is clear to see and we are delighted to give him the opportunity to truly shine.”
Elsewhere, Videoslots recently released its 8,000th game with the release of Pragmatic Play’s Greedy Wolf.
