Carousel Group appoints Phillip Wilson as COO

Prior to the launch of two new sportsbook brands, Carousel Group, a rapidly growing iGaming startup operating in the regulated online gambling sector, has appointed Phillip Wilson as Chief Operating Officer.

Wilson has a proven track record of delivering growth and success at big-name gambling organizations such as Gala Coral and most recently Winners Group, and will now bring his years of experience and expertise to Carousel Group.

In his new role, Wilson will be playing a critical role in ensuring that Carousel Group achieves operational excellence in every area, and put the customer at the very heart of what they do.

Prior to joining Carousel Group, Wilson served as Chief Operating Officer at secondary lottery platform provider Winners Group.

During his four-year stint at the Denmark-based organization, he was responsible for developing and implementing a strategic plan to pivot the business from a small B2C brand into a B2B power player.

Wilson also spent three years as Head of Product at Gala Coral where he made a significant contribution to the operator’s rapid progress on mobile and tablet leading to award-winning products and industry leading conversion rates.

Daniel Graetzer, Carousel Group CEO, said: "I am delighted to welcome Phillip to the team. His experience at developing and implementing strategies that drive rapid growth and deliver sustainable success will significantly benefit Carousel Group.

“Following the launch of our new affiliate programme and public announcement of our recently acquired sports betting brands, it is an exciting and critical time for the business and I am thrilled that Phillip will play a significant role in the direction we take in the coming months and years."

Phillip Wilson, Chief Operating Officer at Carousel Group, said: "Joining Carousel Group at such a critical time in our journey is a unique opportunity within the iGaming sector - we have an enviable mix of talent, great brands, a solid funding base, and an innovative in-house platform to allow us to reshape what it means to be an operator in this sector.

We are gathering knowledge and expertise from inside and outside of the industry to bring the lessons of excellent customer experiences and live up to our motto of being the ‘new kids on the block’."
