The premier sports wagering tech firm, FSB, has named Adam Smith as its permanent Chief Executive Officer. Smith’s elevation follows a fruitful quarter-year stint as interim CEO.
A key achievement during his temporary leadership was driving FSB’s venture into the United States and Canada market with Fitzdares, a longstanding collaborator. This initiative introduced FSB’s advanced technology into Ontario.
Before joining FSB, Smith served as the UK Managing Director and held a position on the Group board at a leading Scandinavian technology consulting firm. His proficiency lies in data-driven digital evolution, a skillset developed while working with customers across diverse industries. These sectors encompass telecommunications, tourism, market data, production, and information technology, where he consistently delivered remarkable expansion and prosperous transformations.
“Leading FSB permanently fills me with immense enthusiasm,” remarked Smith. “The past three months have revealed the extraordinary potential within this organization.” He underscored the company’s assets, emphasizing its “agile proprietary technology, a highly motivated team, and exceptional alliances.”
Smith conveyed strong belief in FSB’s prospects, stating, “We hold immense optimism for the future.” He concluded by stressing his dedication to working closely with Clairvest, FSB’s private equity investor, to “hasten the growth of this acclaimed enterprise.”
Clairvests Managing Director, Mohit Kansal, commended Adam on his rapid influence since becoming a part of FSB, emphasizing the unwavering backing from the leadership group. He conveyed enthusiasm for the partnership’s trajectory and the possibility of remarkable accomplishments. This optimistic outlook comes on the heels of the recent growth of FSB’s enduring alliance with Sporting Solutions, initiated in 2014 with the incorporation of Sporting Solutions’ real-time data offerings into FSB’s sports wagering platform. This newest advancement strengthens their joint effort in the domain of odds provisions.
