Playtech has appointed former Yggdrasil head Jade Pecorella as its new head of casino.
Pecorella joins the FTSE 250 company after nearly three years as head of games at Malta-based firm Quik Gaming.
She also spent four years with fellow supplier Yggdrasil, originally joining as a senior game designer and producer in January 2016 before being promoted to game studio manager in March 2019.
In her time at Yggdrasil, Pecorella was responsible for creating and maintaining game design and game design documentation. She also created wireframes and UX flows to align with market trends and needs.
Before moving into the igaming industry, Pecorella developed an extensive CV in the world of game development.
Pecorella spent 18 months working for Exient on Angry Birds Go! as a game designer and almost three years with TRC Family Entertainment as mobile and systems designer.
Pecorella said: “What a way to start a new year. I’m happy to share that I’ve joined the talented team at Playtech as head of casino.”
