Former COO steps into leadership role as provider continues C-level restructure
Rapidly expanding iGaming software provider Swintt has announced the appointment of Etienne Azzopardi as Interim Managing Director, following the departure of Chief Executive Officer David Mann and as part of an ongoing restructure of the company’s senior leadership team.
Azzopardi joined Swintt in August 2021 as Director of Operations before being promoted to Chief Operating Officer in February 2022. Over the past four and a half years, he has played a central role in the company’s growth, overseeing operational management, product roadmap optimisation, market licensing and game certification. 
During his tenure, Azzopardi has been responsible for managing and coordinating numerous product launches and new client integrations, while also guiding Swintt through a period of rapid international expansion. The company entered its 13th regulated market last summer with its launch in Italy, a notable milestone for a business founded in 2019.
In his new role as Interim Managing Director, Azzopardi will retain oversight of Swintt’s operational functions while also assuming responsibility for driving the company’s future product strategy, market expansion initiatives and long-term team development plans.
Swintt said the appointment ensures continuity and stability during a key phase of growth, with Azzopardi’s experience and deep understanding of the business positioning him well to lead the company forward.
Etienne Azzopardi, Interim Managing Director at Swintt, said: “I’m delighted to take on the role of Interim Managing Director and to have the opportunity to continue building on the strong progress we’ve made over recent years.”
“Under David Mann’s leadership, Swintt evolved from an innovative start-up into a sought-after software provider with a high-quality game portfolio distributed across 13 regulated markets worldwide. My focus now is to build on those foundations by expanding our content offering, strengthening our commercial partnerships and bringing our games to additional key markets as we enter the next stage of our growth.”
