Maxima Compliance, the leading full service regulatory and technical compliance provider for the betting and gaming industry, has significantly strengthened its team with the addition of two c-level hires.
Matt Hegarty joins as Director of Technology Services, where he will oversee the roll-out of new technical products which provide solutions to compliance issues faced by the industry, including player protection and responsible gambling.
Hegarty spent six years with bet365, where he led technical teams involved with player monitoring, external threat protection and the development of a bespoke system to integrate with the Italian regulator.
He is joined at Maxima by Head of Information Security Services Richard Bucknall, who brings a wealth of experience covering ISO27001 and IT infrastructure having worked for more than a decade in processes implementation and audit.
Bucknall will lead information security projects as a central part of Maxima’s technical compliance offering, as well as helping clients draft policies and implement standards.
Both will work out of Maxima’s new London headquarters.
Antonio Zanghi, founder and Director of Compliance Services at Maxima Compliance, said: “With compliance now a central concern for both operators and suppliers, this was the right time to expand Maxima’s senior management team.
“Both Matt and Richard bring with them years of experience in their respective fields. At a time when regulatory burdens are growing across the industry, their unparalleled expertise will ensure Maxima clients stay ahead of the game.
“This is an exciting time for Maxima, with a growing team and a number of new clients coming onboard, and I am delighted to welcome Matt and Richard.”
