A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has embarked on a new journey as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology, bringing with him a wealth of experience garnered from his previous high-profile roles. He has extensively worked with prominent companies such as Tabcorp, where he served as an executive director, and William Hill, where he held the position of director of innovation. His tenure at Conquer Technology began after an opportune meeting with Conquer Technology's Chief Commercial Officer, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is known for its focus on small-scale technical innovation. Operating as a full-service development studio, it assists firms in navigating the intricate landscape of gambling regulations, KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols, and the development of novel betting products and bet types. The company's mission is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without bearing prohibitive financial and operational burdens.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is acutely aware of the challenges that plague the gambling industry. Operators often struggle to experiment and test new ideas due to internal constraints. Handling everything in-house can lead to bureaucratic delays and increased costs. Outsourcing these efforts to Conquer Technology presents a quicker and more affordable alternative. The complexity of managing projects in gambling companies has increased significantly over the past decades, with more stakeholders involved now compared to 20 years ago. Conquer Technology aims to streamline the operational landscape for operators, easing the path to innovation.
A Vision for the Future
While the innovation in the Tote's product has been particularly challenging, Hart's new role offers him a broader scope to implement his vision for the gambling industry. He is determined to tackle not just the existing challenges but also to spearhead substantial changes. Conquer Technology's goal is to help firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes, empowering operators to push the boundaries of innovation in gambling. The launch of the gambling division marks a significant milestone for the company and the industry as a whole. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they execute their ambitious plans.
