GIG Hires Ignacio García Leirado as New CTO

Gaming Innovation Group incorporates Ignacio Garcia Leirado into its Alira platform team as the new CTO.

Ignacio has more than 15 years of experience in the technological world. He has most of his experience within the iGaming industry – casino and lottery – with a focus on the B2B and B2C sides of the business, bringing a global vision for Tecnalis clients, and his Alira platform. He has worked integrating Lottery products into the Mybet gaming platform and integrating Lottery channels in large media outlets in Spain such as Terra, El País or Yahoo.es. In addition to launching own brands such as Serviapuestas or Lotonet (La bruixa d’or), he certified and operated in Spain the casino and poker brands netbet.es and poker777.es as CTO of Digital Distribution Management Iberica SA.

From his trajectory, it stands out that he joined an emerging Igaming company until he grew up and assumed the position of CTO. His responsibilities were to deliver the lottery product, PAM, payment solutions, marketing, AI and other functionalities. In addition, his department was in charge of creating integrations with existing platforms.

“We are very happy with this incorporation that will forcefully propel us into the new stage that begins this year 2023. Ignacio will bring to the Alira platform a new, much more modern and dynamic vision of the platform that would allow us to meet the future expectations of our customers,” Hervé Schlosser, Managing Director of Sportnco Gaming at GiG, said.

“At the same time that we are going to ensure the stability and normal operation of the platform, we are going to start the design of a new version of Alira to facilitate integration with new providers, that speeds up certification in new legislation but above all improves performance in times of great load,” Ignacio Garcia Leirado, Chief Technical Officer of Alira at GIG, said.
