Tuesday, 1st May, 2018 – Nektan PLC (AIM: NKTN), an international B2B and white label gaming software and services provider, has strengthened its expanding operations by appointing a new Chief Operating Officer for both its White Label and B2B divisions.
Jane Ryan now heads up Nektan’s B2B unit with Michael Byrne appointed to lead its White label business.
Byrne joins from Microgaming, where he held the position of Regional Business Manager and played a key role in setting up a new Malta hub for the company’s gaming platform Quickfire. He was previously Chief Commercial Officer and Senior Director at IGT for its Interactive division, and led William Hill’s mobile division during a four-year spell with the operator.
