WA.Technology has appointed a new Commerical Director, promoting its former Director of Sports Operations, Dave Hickey, to the role.
Hickey first joined the supplier in November 2022 and, in his short time with the company, has worked a number of leadership positions within sportsbook, commercial and managed services.
Following his promotion, the former Director of Sports Operations will be responsible for overseeing WA.Technology’s commercial strategy, focusing on revenue growth, navigating new partnerships and helping to create localised solutions for the supplier’s partners.

Hickey himself said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be taking on the role of Commercial Director. I have had the pleasure of working with such a talented, innovative team, and I cannot wait to bring those insights to this new role as we forge new avenues for growth in 2025.
“In my previous role as Director of Sports Operations, I had a great opportunity to work alongside the commercial team, which gave me great insights into the different sectors of our industry – experiences that I have no doubt will shape my role as Commercial Director.
“I’m particularly looking forward to tapping into the extensive data sets that we have at our disposal, which will ultimately help take our business from strength to strength as we better understand market trends and player preferences, allowing us to empower our partners in achieving greater success.”
