A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has recently taken on a pivotal role as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. With an impressive background that includes being an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill, Hart brings a wealth of experience to his new position. His journey to Conquer Technology began after he met Conquer Technology's CCO, David Carter, during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is dedicated to spearheading small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company assists firms in navigating gambling regulation, understanding KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols, and developing new betting products and bet types. The firm’s mission is to give operators the freedom to experiment and innovate without bearing hefty financial and operational burdens.
Challenges and Opportunities in the Industry
Hart is well aware of the numerous challenges facing the gambling industry today. Many operators find it difficult to experiment and test new ideas due to the complexity and cost implications of handling everything in-house. Bureaucratic delays and escalated costs can be major deterrents. Outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology, however, may offer a quicker and more cost-effective solution. Managing projects within gambling companies is becoming increasingly complex, with significantly more people involved in projects today compared to 20 years ago. Conquer Technology aims to simplify this complex operational landscape for operators.
A Vision for the Future
Jamie Hart’s vision for Conquer Technology extends beyond solving the immediate challenges faced by gambling operators. He acknowledges that innovation within the Tote product has been particularly challenging, and his new role provides him with a broader scope to implement his vision for the industry. Conquer Technology is poised to help firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes of the gambling sector. The launch of Conquer Technology's gambling division is a significant milestone, promising to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation in gambling. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they set out to execute their ambitious plans for the future.
