Etienne Azzopardi

After a successful interim period, Etienne Azzopardi has been confirmed as the permanent Managing Director of B2B gaming supplier Swintt. 

He first took on the position in January following a restructuring process triggered by the resignation of former CEO David Mann. Prior to this, Mr Azzopardi had spent four years serving as the company’s Chief Operating Officer.

During his short tenure as Interim Managing Director, Mr Azzopardi oversaw the release of 12 new games, including three major additions to the company’s Elysium Studios portfolio. Among them was Lucky Lads: Hold & Win, a standout title that has gained strong traction with both players and operators.

Meanwhile, the company secured two partnerships, with NetBet introducing Swintt’s games to its Greek offering, while SkillOnNet integrated Select, Premium, and Elysium Studios titles across its .com, UK, and Mexican brands.

Mr Azzopardi will now focus on strengthening Swintt’s content output and continuing to pursue expansion opportunities in regulated markets worldwide, with Switzerland expected to be the next key market targeted by the provider this year.
