Working Outside the Box: Fanatics Betting and Sports CEO Matt King Joins as Keynote Speaker at SBC Summit North America

Published

on

 

Matt King, the Chief Executive Officer for Fanatics Betting and Gaming, is poised to captivate audiences by dissecting his game-changing strategy of assembling a team of experts from beyond the traditional confines of the industry. This bold approach will be the focal point of King’s exclusive speech at the highly-anticipated SBC Summit North America conference and exhibition.

The ‘Keeping it Fresh: Revolutionizing Sports Betting and iGaming with a Fresh Mindset’ keynote will open the first full day of the event and the ‘Leaders’ conference track (Wednesday, May 10th), at the leading iGaming and sports betting event in North America, taking place at Meadowlands Exposition Center, New Jersey.

During his keynote, King will reveal his strategy for elevating the Fanatics Betting and Gaming brand. The Chief Executive Officer will explain how building on an already proven brand like Fanatics, harnessing the power of a devoted sports fan database and embracing the company’s pioneering approach to talent acquisition can result in fresh strategies that have the potential to revolutionize the industry.

After spending over a decade at KKR, a global investment company, King joined industry giant FanDuel as the Chief Financial Officer. Following this tenure, he held the position of President of Regional Operations and Corporate Development at Cottingham and Butler, an insurance broker. King then returned to FanDuel and spent his last four years at the helm of the company. In 2021, he joined Fanatics Betting and Gaming, leaving FanDuel as one of the most successful industry leaders.

Fanatics had an opportunity to use its recognizable brand name, infrastructure, tech, database, hundreds of sports partnerships and innovative mindset to go beyond merchandise and explore areas across the entire sports ecosystem. In August 2021, Fanatics announced plans to evolve into a leading global digital sports platform through expansion into new verticals including physical and digital trading cards and collectibles, sports betting and iGaming. Soon after, Fanatics Chief Executive Officer, Michael Rubin, announced he would be creating Fanatics Sportsbook and by the summer of the same year had recruited King as Chief Executive Officer of their new division, Fanatics Betting and Gaming.

In January 2023, King and his team entered the legal sports betting market with the official launch of Fanatics Betting and Gaming’s new retail sportsbook at FedEXField, Maryland. In a unique move in the industry, the Fanatics Sportsbook is currently beta testing with sports fans in Tennessee and Ohio. King believes that working with customers in a beta testing situation is one of the fresh perspectives that has the potential to deliver a sports betting and iGaming product that sports fans deserve.

“We are beyond excited to have Matt King as a keynote speaker at SBC Summit North America,” the Founder and Chief Executive Officer for SBC, Rasmus Sojmark, said. “Matt has the unique advantage of already having an established and celebrated legacy within the industry whilst still having so much to offer. His innovative thinking and highly-regarded insight is catapulting the industry into a new age of accessible and celebrated playing. His discussion on revolutionizing sports betting and iGaming is sure to be both fascinating and invaluable.”

BETER names Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager

 

Award-winning fast-betting content provider strengthens its position in the region with the latest hire

BETER, the in-demand provider of fast-betting content, data, and live streaming for esports and sports, has strengthened its team with the appointment of Juliana Querino as LatAm Business Development Manager.

Juliana, a seasoned business development specialist based in Brazil, has extensive experience in the Latin American iGaming industry. She has previously held various business development positions at Better Collective, Endorphina, Salsa Technology, and other companies. Her expertise was recognized by the G&M News platform, which included her in its Top 5 Women in the Industry 2024 list—highlighting women making significant contributions to the growth of iGaming in the region.

In her new role at BETER, she will drive the company’s expansion across Latin America, forging new partnerships with regional operators and aggregators, particularly in Brazil, where demand for BETER’s content continues to grow.

She will also drive BETER into new LatAm markets where the provider does not currently have a presence while managing relationships with existing partners to ensure they get the most out of the provider’s next-gen content offering.

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Latin America is a fast-moving market with opportunities opening up all the time. To capitalize on these, we need an exceptional specialist, and in Juliana, we have found exactly that. Her expertise and deep market knowledge make her a valuable addition to our team.

“We are already experiencing strong demand for our fast-betting products and solutions across the region. With Juliana on board, we can further identify key operators that would benefit from partnering with us, driving even greater growth.

“I’m delighted to welcome Juliana to the BETER team.”

Juliana Querino commented: “Fast-betting content has become essential for operators in Latin America and beyond, and I’m thrilled to join BETER in expanding awareness of its award-winning portfolio.

“I look forward to helping BETER maximize the full potential of the LatAm market.”
