Finixio hires first head of gambling content and boosts editorial team by 25
Affiliate firm Finixio has appointed Sacha Kinser its head of gambling content as part of the company’s expansion drive in the igaming market.
Kinser joins from affiliate Game Lounge, where she was most recently head of content, having worked her way up the ranks after joining the Malta-based firm in 2018 as a content manager.
Prior to that, she also worked for SiGMA. Her standing in the igaming community saw her recently shortlisted in the Top 3 for iGaming NEXT’s iGaming Manager IDOL of the year.
“I am thrilled to join Finixio, a company that stands out as being at the forefront of innovation and excellence. My role here extends beyond a job title, it’s an opportunity for me to leverage my leadership skills to actively nurture and develop a strong, cohesive team. I am committed to fostering talent and potential, driving us to not only meet our goals but also to set new industry standards through our unified vision and collaborative effort,” said Kinser.
Finixio entered the international gambling market back in 2021, when it hired Neil Roarty as its head of North America to expand beyond its UK operation. Roarty is an industry veteran, having spent 15 years in the igaming space, with his background including stints at Catena Media and Bettingpro.com. Prior to joining Finixio, he was at affiliate network Wedge Traffic, which he set up in the US in 2019.
Since 2021 Finixio has been on an acquisition drive and has grown from a single gambling site (www.safebettingsites.com) to a network of over 20, with its flagship brands including www.sportslens.com and www.thesportsdaily.com.
Roarty said the appointment of the company’s first head of gambling content, along with the further 24 staff it had hired to work under Kinser, demonstrated Finixio’s optimism about the international igaming market.
“Our early experiences in the international gambling markets have led to a strong belief that this is going to be one of the growth engines of the affiliate market in the future. We are investing strongly in our gambling content team now to make sure we are well placed to benefit from the additional opportunities we expect to open up over the coming years,” said Roarty.
“We are delighted to have secured someone as experienced in the igaming market as Sacha and expect her leadership to play a key role in the company’s success in the future.”
Roarty added that the recent hires were part of a wider push on hiring across the firm, which is currently moving away from using contract and freelance staff and instead focusing on taking on more permanent employees in order to provide better services to clients. This move away from freelancers is what Finixio hopes will help it cement a position as a leading brand into 2024 and beyond.
“We want to set our business up for stable future growth and we believe providing good jobs and clear career progression is a key part of this,” he said.
He said the recent hiring process had focused on experience and authority as Finixio looked to build a team of experienced journalists, with new hires coming from The Daily Mail, The Daily Express and The Telegraph. They will work alongside industry experts with previous experience at both operator and affiliate level.
Finixio has also recently started working with Manchester-based The Juice Academy to provide apprenticeships, which mix on-the-job learning with a digital marketing qualification. Its first graduate from the scheme, Max Barlow, is now a permanent employee in the company’s PR team.
