Sports gamification firm Low6 has confirmed the appointment of Ben Barker as its Chief Revenue Officer, with the new hire joining with immediate effect. 

His primary responsibility at Low6 will be with developing commercial and revenue strategies, primarily with the goal of driving its North American expansion and enhancing its existing partnerships. 

Barker remarked: “Low6 has made its mark as one of the hottest start-ups in sports gaming under Jamie’s leadership. I am excited to join the team to drive forward the commercial strategy aligning our partners, customers and fans to inspire sports gaming through innovation and creative solutions.”

The new CRO has garnered experience within the global sports industry over 20 years, having previously served as Chief Commercial Officer at Monterosa – cooperating with broadcasters, brands and sports rights-holders in activating mobile audiences 

His six year tenure saw cooperation with firms such as IMG Arena, EA Sports, ViacomCBS, the Jockey Club, Formula 1 and Liverpool FC, whilst prior roles have seen Barker work at WPP Group companies for 15 years.
