Golden Whale appoints Thomas Aigner as SVP for Business Development

Golden Whale has announced the appointment of Thomas Aigner as SVP for Business Development.

Aigner, who has nearly two decades of experience in gaming, eCommerce and artificial intelligence (AI), is expected to play a key role in driving the company’s business development efforts.

Aigner’s professional background includes roles in business development and operations at BetGamesTV, where he served as Head of Sales and Playtech, where he was the Regional Director for Emerging Markets. 

In these positions, Aigner managed partnerships and operations across multiple regions, including the EU, Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Latin America (LATAM).

His experience covers a range of responsibilities, from market expansion to collaboration with teams focused on AI and machine learning (ML) solutions.

At Golden Whale, Aigner’s primary responsibilities will involve overseeing business development strategies as the company aims to strengthen its market position in the iGaming sector. 

Golden Whale’s CEO, Eberhard Dürrschmid, commented: “Aigner’s vast industry know-how in the fields of both ML/AI and iGaming made him the ideal candidate for the position and we’re really looking forward to seeing all the new opportunities that his passionate approach to growth management will bring for the business in the weeks to come.” 

Earlier in 2024, Golden Whale entered into a partnership with SCCG Management, an advisory firm, to increase its market presence in the Americas.

This collaboration followed a period of growth for Golden Whale, during which it focused on enhancing its AI-driven products and services.
