We're not just talking about any old platform; we're talking about a robust, scalable beast that's as diverse as the content it offers and the services it manages. As part of the Light & Wonder family, OpenBet is the heartbeat behind the excitement of sports betting for millions, a pulse that's felt from London to Las Vegas and beyond.
In the fast-paced world of sports betting, standing still is not an option—it's a recipe for extinction. OpenBet gets this, which is why innovation is the north star guiding our journey. We're not just about the here and now; we're about shaping the future. Responsible gaming? It's in our DNA. We're committed to ensuring that the thrill of the game is enjoyed responsibly by all. Our core values are the pillars that support this commitment, and they're as diverse and inclusive as the team that brings them to life.
Let's kick off our global tour at the heart of it all—the London headquarters. This isn't just any office; it's the epicenter of our operations, the place where the magic happens. Imagine the hustle and bustle of one of the world's most vibrant cities, and you've got the energy that fuels our headquarters. It's where our top minds converge, brainstorming and building the future of sports betting entertainment. It's not just an address; it's the home of our global family, a place where over 1,200 minds come together to create, innovate, and lead the industry.
Now, let's spread our wings and fly across the continents to visit our regional offices, the satellites that keep our global operations in sync.
First stop, Europe. In Athens, the cradle of civilization, we've got an office that's as dynamic as the city's history. It's where our Greek team brings a touch of Mediterranean flair to our operations. And over in Lviv, Ukraine, another office stands as a testament to our commitment to Eastern Europe, a region rich in talent and potential.
Next, we cross the pond to North America, where our presence is as diverse as the continent itself. In the Windy City, Chicago, our office is a hub of activity, a place where the Midwest's spirit of hard work and innovation meets the future of sports betting. Speaking of which, when you think of excitement, you can't help but think of Las Vegas, and that's where you'll find another of our offices, right in the middle of the action. Up in Montreal, the city of a thousand faces, our office reflects the city's bilingual, multicultural spirit. And on the West Coast, Vancouver offers a gateway to the Pacific, with an office that's as scenic as it is strategic.
Heading east, we land in Asia, a continent of contrasts and opportunities. In Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, our office is at the forefront of tech innovation, a place where the brightest minds are shaping the future of our industry. And in Singapore, a global financial hub, our office is a beacon of our commitment to the Asian market, a place where business and technology converge.
Finally, we touch down in Oceania, with offices in Melbourne and Wellington. In Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia, our office is a melting pot of ideas and creativity, contributing to the vibrant sports betting scene down under. And in Wellington, the windy city of New Zealand, our office stands as a symbol of our commitment to the region, a place where innovation meets the Pacific spirit.
Drumroll, please! It's time to meet the dream team that steers the OpenBet ship. At the helm, we have our CEO, Jordan Levin. Jordan's not just a leader; he's a visionary who sees the future of sports betting and makes it happen. His energy is as contagious as a good sports bet, and his strategic insights keep us ahead of the game.
Now, let's chat about our CTO, Florian Diederichsen. Florian is the tech wizard behind the curtain, making sure our platform is as cutting-edge as a brand-new sports car. His team of developers and engineers are the unsung heroes who keep the wheels of our digital platform spinning smoothly.
And then there's Nikos Konstakis, our Chief Product Officer and MD of OpenBet Hellas. Nikos is the mastermind behind our diverse content and managed services. He's the guy who ensures that our product is as thrilling as the final moments of a championship game.
But wait, there's more! OpenBet is proud to have a strong female leadership team that brings a dynamic perspective to our operations.
Meet Cathryn Lai, our Chief Commercial Officer. Cathryn is the strategic mastermind who ensures our partnerships are as strong as a winning team's huddle. Her leadership in commercial strategy is as sharp as a well-timed pass in a football game.

When it comes to work, we've got the best of both worlds. Our hybrid work environment is like a well-played game of tennis—you've got the power to serve from the office or ace your tasks from home. At least two days a week, our team members come together in the office, turning the collaborative dial up to eleven. The rest of the time, they're free to work their magic from the comfort of their own courts, or coffee shops, as they see fit. It's a winning strategy that keeps our team connected and our productivity at an all-time high.
At OpenBet, diversity isn't just a box to tick; it's the colorful palette we use to paint our future. We're a team that looks like the world we serve, with individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and identities.
