Strive Gaming nets ex-Kambi head as new chief legal officer
Strive Gaming has bolstered its senior team with the addition of former Kambi exec Tommaso Di Chio as chief legal and compliance officer.
Di Chio joins the US-facing supplier after more than nine years with Kambi, stretching back to 2014 when he joined the firm as a legal and regulatory counsel.
February 2017 saw Di Chio promoted to senior legal and regulatory counsel before another promotion in October 2019 saw him shift to associate general counsel.
In his final role with the Stockholm-listed supplier, Di Chio was named SVP of legal and group deputy general counsel in September 2021.
He departed the business in March earlier this year.
In his role with Strive Gaming, Di Chio will lead on the firm’s legal matters in North America and across the world. Di Chio will link up with Strive Gaming CEO Max Meltzer, himself a former Kambi chief commercial officer, who spent five years with the technology supplier between 2016 and 2021.
Speaking on his new role, Di Chio said: “In our fast-changing industry, the secret sauce is balancing cool new ideas with being responsible.
“I’m all about pulling together the smarts from regulators, lawmakers, and folks in the industry to make gaming not just a money-maker, but also something we can be proud of.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Strive Gaming on its journey – a journey that we are in together, every step of the way,” he added.
Max Meltzer, Strive Gaming CEO, said: “In Tommaso, we have the perfect person to oversee all legal and compliance activity at Strive, and to lead and grow our teams.
“This is an important hire for us and will help us to continue to strengthen our position as the leading PAM provider in North America and beyond.”
