FunFair bolsters management team with Gamesys and Sci Games hires

Blockchain casino platform FunFair Technologies has strengthened its senior management team with executive hires from Scientific Games (SG) and Gamesys.

Lloyd Purser, who boasts 12 years of egaming experience, joins FunFair as SVP of business development from SG where he was executive director of commercial for SG’s Interactive division.

“Blockchain is set to revolutionise the gaming industry, so I’m thrilled to have joined FunFair in what is an incredibly exciting time in the company’s lifecycle,” said Purser.

“Our position as a key innovator in the space, coupled with the teams’ extensive experience and huge passion for the technology, made it an easy decision to come on board.”

Purser will be joined at FunFair by Fred Kessler, who takes up the role of VP of product after leaving his position at Gamesys as chief product owner of the supplier’s gaming platform.

Purser will be responsible for driving and managing commercial partnerships while Kessler will be in charge of the platform’s scaled up product roadmap.

Kessler said: “FunFair is the most exciting company within the blockchain casino space at the moment, utilising the latest technology and expert developers to deliver low cost, high quality, transparent casino experiences that are provably fair to all.

“I look forward to working closely with our community and partners to ensure that the platform continues to grow as a world-class casino platform,” he added.

The two hires add to FunFair’s expanding team of 50 in its central London office.
