Ryan Collinge has revealed he is leaving his role as senior vice president of Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) after two-and-a-half years.
The former Inspired Entertainment product manager joined GiG in February 2024 after a stint at the Gauselmann Group, now Merkur Group, as corporate group director at Blueprint Gaming.
While at GiG, he was responsible for leading the company’s commercial strategy, including the rollout of GiG’s sweepstakes offering in the US.
“Working closely with talented teams across the business, we successfully established GiG in this rapidly growing sector, secured multiple new operator partnerships and created a significant new revenue stream for the company,” Collinge said.
“This initiative demonstrated GiG’s ability to innovate, adapt and capitalise on new market entry opportunities.”
Collinge thanks GiG CEO Richard Carter
“A special thank you to Richard Carter [GiG CEO] for his leadership, trust and support throughout my tenure,” Collinge added on LinkedIn.
“I would also like to extend my gratitude to the Board, including Hessi Mocca, for their guidance, confidence and continued support.”
Collinge was at GiG during the spinout of Gentoo Media, formerly GiG Media, which is now solely affiliate-focused.
He departs after the exit of GiG’s former chief business officer Andrew Cochrane, who is now at Soft2Bet as chief commercial officer.
Collinge “proud” of GiG chapter
“I leave immensely proud of what we have achieved together. I had the privilege of working alongside an exceptional team, delivering significant commercial growth and expanding our global footprint across both established and new markets,” Collinge said.
“Together, we successfully secured partnerships with a number of tier-one operators across regulated markets while also opening new opportunities and launching partnerships in exciting growth regions including the United States Sweepstakes market, the Philippines, Croatia, France, [the] UK and many others.”
Collinge did not disclose the details of his next role.
