A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has taken on a prominent new role as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. This transition comes after a distinguished career that includes serving as an executive director at Tabcorp and director of innovation at William Hill. Hart's journey to Conquer Technology began after an influential meeting with CCO David Carter during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is carving a niche in the gambling industry by focusing on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company helps firms tackle the complexities of gambling regulations and KYC protocols, while also assisting in the creation of new betting products and bet types. The studio's mission is to provide gambling operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without the financial and operational burdens that typically come with in-house development.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is acutely aware of the myriad challenges facing the gambling industry today. One of the biggest hurdles is the difficulty operators face when trying to experiment and test new concepts. Handling everything internally often results in bureaucratic delays and escalated costs. In contrast, outsourcing to Conquer Technology can offer quicker and more cost-effective solutions. The complexity of managing projects within gambling companies has grown exponentially, with more people involved in projects now than there were 20 years ago. Conquer Technology aims to streamline these operations, simplifying the landscape for operators and enabling them to focus more on innovation.
A Vision for the Future
In his new role, Jamie Hart is aiming to address more than just the hurdles faced by the Tote’s product. The innovation for the Tote has been particularly challenging, and Hart sees his position at Conquer Technology as an opportunity to implement a broader vision for the gambling industry. The company's goal is to help firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory environment. The launch of the gambling division marks a significant milestone for both the company and the industry. Conquer Technology's objective is to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation within gambling. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they execute their ambitious plans.
