Simona’s expertise in both the commercial, legal and regulatory side of gaming will be invaluable for Inspired as we continue to build our business globally.”
Dr Camilleri's professional journey includes leadership roles at several companies, including Sportingtech, Casumo, Payhound, Booming Games and the Betclic Everest Group.

Last month, Inspired Entertainment reported a revenue surge of 31% for the third quarter ending 30 September 2023. The growth was attributed to strong performance in its Interactive segment and increased sales in Low Margin Gaming Hardware.
Additionally, Inspired introduced new products and partnerships, including the iGaming product Hybrid Dealer and a partnership agreement with the National Basketball Association (NBA) to develop NBA-themed Virtual Sports games.
Furthermore, Inspired Entertainment collaborated with Rush Street Interactive (RSI) to introduce its virtual sports content to the New Jersey gaming market through the BetRivers platform.
