### A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart has taken on a new role as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Previously, Hart was an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill. His journey to Conquer Technology started after meeting David Carter, Conquer Technology's Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), during an innovation competition at William Hill. This connection set the stage for Hart to bring his extensive industry experience and forward-thinking vision to a new platform.
### Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is a full-service development studio dedicated to small-scale technical innovation. It assists firms in navigating the complex landscape of gambling regulations and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, helping them develop new betting products and bet types. The core mission of Conquer Technology is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without the burdensome financial and operational constraints that typically hamper such efforts.
### Challenges and Opportunities
Hart acknowledges the myriad challenges facing the gambling industry today. Operators often struggle with the ability to experiment and test new concepts due to in-house bureaucratic delays and escalating costs. The complexity of managing projects within gambling companies has increased over the years, involving a larger number of stakeholders compared to two decades ago.
Conquering these challenges, Hart believes, lies in outsourcing innovation efforts to Conquer Technology, which can offer quicker and more cost-effective solutions. His vision is to simplify the operational landscape for gambling operators, allowing them to move forward with innovative ideas efficiently.
### A Vision for the Future
Hart’s ambitions extend beyond tackling the immediate challenges facing the gambling industry. He sees his role at Conquer Technology as a platform to address broader issues within the sector. Specifically, he aims to innovate within the Tote's product, an area that has historically been difficult to advance. With Conquer Technology, Hart is positioned to implement a comprehensive vision for the industry.
The launch of the gambling division at Conquer Technology is a significant milestone, both for the company and the broader industry. As regulatory landscapes continue to shift, Hart is focused on helping firms adapt to these changes. Conquer Technology aspires to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation, providing them with the tools and expertise needed to thrive in an ever-evolving market.
