Effective from 8 August, Shwartz brings his industry expertise to the role of leading Delasport into the future, with an aim to “elevate the company’s reach into target global industry markets.”
Shwartz said: “Delasport is well-positioned to succeed and I’m excited to be part of the team that makes it happen, as Dela’s Sports Betting and iGaming platform have the ability to adjust fast and to fit the market needs.”
Commenting on the appointment, Delasport’s current directors said: “Delasport’s team is growing at a very rapid pace, and the company is hiring the most knowledgeable and highly qualified staff.
“Oren is the right person to lead the company as our CEO. He will drive the business results and execute Delasport’s strategic vision for providing our full Sports Betting and iGaming solution globally.”
In September 2020, Delasport signed Skywind Group as its online casino provider – and the relationship has clearly blossomed since then for Shwartz.
The CEO appointment is one of a number of significant changes announced within the industry in recent weeks.
Plenty has been going on in the M&A department, in particular, with Scientific Games acquiring Lightning Box Games, DraftKings purchasing Golden Nugget Online Gaming and Penn National Gaming buying Score Media and Gaming.
