New CTO Chris Armes to oversee group’s product development teams across all verticals
NYX Gaming Group has appointed former Oracle vice-president of engineering systems, Chris Armes, as group CTO.
In his role Armes will oversee the supplier’s support and product development teams across sportsbook, lotteries, bingo and casino, and assist in developing a cohesive delivery model.
He will also work closely with the teams to deliver the firm’s product strategy and roadmaps.
A NYX statement said Armes brings 25 years of experience in “managing high performing global teams, covering the full delivery experience for large-scale international projects, across both hardware and software”.
“I’m thrilled to be joining NYX Gaming Group in what is a very exciting period of growth for the company,” Armes said.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with NYX customers to ensure that our product innovation is in line with their current and future needs.”
The provider was bought last month by Scientific Games for £465m.
NYX Gaming Group CEO Matt Davey added: “We’re pleased to welcome Chris to the team, and we look forward to him providing technical direction across numerous areas of our product-led strategy.”
