A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has recently stepped into a pivotal role as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Previously, Hart was the executive director at Tabcorp and the director of innovation at William Hill. His new position aligns with his history of driving innovation in the gambling industry.
Hart’s journey to Conquer Technology began serendipitously through a professional encounter with Conquer Technology CCO David Carter during an innovation competition at William Hill. This fortuitous meeting has now culminated in Hart’s leadership at Conquer Technology, a full-service development studio specializing in small-scale technical innovation.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is dedicated to fostering small-scale technical innovations that equip gambling operators to navigate complex regulatory environments, adhere to KYC protocols, and develop pioneering betting products and bet types. The studio’s primary goal is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without being shackled by financial and operational constraints.
Challenges and Opportunities in the Industry
Hart is no stranger to the myriad challenges plaguing the gambling industry today. One common obstacle he identifies is the operational difficulty gambling operators face when trying to experiment and test new ideas. Managing these projects in-house often leads to increased bureaucracy and escalated costs. According to Hart, outsourcing these efforts to Conquer Technology can be a quicker and more cost-effective solution.
"It might be quicker and cheaper to do those with us than in-house," Hart states, emphasizing the potential benefits of outsourcing to Conquer Technology. He also points out that project management within gambling companies has become increasingly complex with time, noting that there are "a lot more people involved in projects now than there were 20 years ago." This complexity underscores the value that Conquer Technology aims to deliver by simplifying the operational landscape for operators.
A Vision for the Future
Not limiting his ambitions to resolving existing challenges, Hart has a broader vision for the future of gambling innovation. Reflecting on his past experience with the Tote’s product, he acknowledges that innovation in this area has been particularly challenging. However, his new role at Conquer Technology offers an expansive scope to implement his vision for the industry.
Conquer Technology is set on helping firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes, which is essential for sustainable growth and innovation in the gambling sector. The launch of the gambling division under Hart’s leadership marks a significant milestone for both the company and the industry at large. It is clear that Conquer Technology is striving to empower operators to push the boundaries of gambling innovation.
Hart’s ambitious outlook makes it apparent that all eyes will be on him and his team as they endeavor to execute and realize their tall orders. His statements reflect not just optimism but a sense of practical strategy aimed at making meaningful differences in how betting companies operate.
