NYX Gaming names new marketing chief
Egaming supplier hires former Betsson chief commercial officer Huw Thomas as chief corporate development and marketing officer
NYX Gaming Group has appointed former Betsson chief commercial officer Huw Thomas as the egaming supplier’s new chief corporate development and marketing officer.
Thomas, who started his new role at the London-based firm this morning, has been handed responsibility for leading NYX Gaming’s external marketing efforts following a five-year stint in various senior roles at Betsson.
He was originally hired by the Malta-headquartered operator as head of casino before leading a seven-month assignment to launch a new online gaming operations hub for Betsson in India.
In July 2011 he was promoted to become head of Betsson.com and was later named chief commercial officer, a role he held for two-and-a-half years until his departure at the start of the year.
Thomas had previously worked for nearly two years as casino and games manager at Gala Coral between 2008 and 2010.
NYX Gaming is currently trying to expand its US operations following a successful IPO and recently struck a deal with the Golden Nugget in New Jersey to provide the operator with its multi-channel online casino platform.
