A Bodog Spokesperson commented, “We are fortunate to be recruiting at a time when others are not and, therefore, can search for the best talent in the industry and beyond. The latest three additions to our team will bring vital experience to their fields and help drive the business on to the next stage.”
A Betfair spokesman told the Guardian, “We’d like to thank Matt Carter for his contribution and wish him well in his future career. Betfair has strengthened its technology team with a significant number of senior hires over the past 18 months, most recently with the appointments of Raj Vemulapalli from Yahoo as head of mobile and Michael Bischoff from London Clearing House as director of information systems. We are building a stronger technology team to increase the pace of innovation.”
Carter has been at the firm from the outset and comes after the company’s own staff had questioned the firm’s direction. It could have something to do with them becoming a public company as a number of staff may have moved on due to not agreeing with this direction.
