Swintt has appointed Etienne Azzopardi as its Managing Director permanently after he took on the role on an interim basis back in January.
Following a successful three-month stint in the role after the departure of Chief Executive Officer David Mann, Azzopardi will now lead the software provider’s product strategy, future market expansion plans and ongoing team development.
Before becoming Interim Managing Director, Azzopardi served as the software provider’s Chief Operating Officer between February 2022 and January 2026, as well as Director of Operations from August 2021. He has also worked for Quickspin and Betsson Group.
Commenting on his appointment, Azzopardi said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed Managing Director at Swintt.
“Since joining the company in 2021, I’ve had a hand in everything from operational management and roadmap optimisation to market licensing and game certification, and the experience I’ve picked up in those four and a half years will prove crucial in my new role.
“Having spent three months acting as Interim Managing Director, I feel very privileged to be taking the role on a permanent basis and believe this will be the catalyst for Swintt to continue its outstanding recent growth in regulated markets worldwide.
“With a packed product roadmap already planned for 2026, it’s going to be an amazing journey and I’m excited to continue growing the Swintt brand.”
During Azzopardi’s time as Interim Managing Director, Swintt has released 12 titles, including Lucky Lads: Hold & Win and two other new additions from Elysium Studios.
The provider also secured partnerships with NetBet in the Greek iGaming market, as well as with SkillOnNet, bringing its Select, Premium and Elysium Studios games to the operator’s .com, UK and MX brands.
Building on what he has achieved as Interim Managing Director, Swintt noted that Azzopardi’s next task will be helping the supplier expand in regulated markets globally, with Switzerland being targeted.
