SIG appoints Fisher as CTO
Sports Information Group (SIG), the parent company of horse racing publication the Daily Racing Form, has named Itay Fisher as its new chief technology officer.
Fisher joins from William Hill, where he served as chief information officer for the company’s online business.
Prior to his time with William Hill, Fisher was product and gaming development director at Gala Coral Interactive, and also had spells as project and integration manager and UK program director at Playtech.
“Daily Racing Form is widely regarded as the leading resource and content platform for the horse racing industry’s most dedicated fans,” Fisher said.
“I am excited to begin working with Z Capital and the SIG team to continue advancing the company’s digital strategy and offerings.”
The appointment comes almost one year after Z Capital Partners acquired SIG.
James Zenni, president and chief executive of Z Capital Group, added: “Itay is a talented executive in the digital and online gaming space with significant experience building and scaling digital wagering platforms.
“I am confident that he will be a strong addition to the SIG leadership team and will help drive our strategic vision of delivering unmatched online gaming offerings to our customers.”
