Blanco becomes head of gaming at Kindred

Cristiano Blanco has been appointed Kindred’s new head of gaming.

Blanco switches from his position of head of casino after former head of gaming Fredrik Kjell became the company’s chief product officer.

Blanco joined Kindred in February 2017, and has since worked across the company’s brands, Unibet, 32Red, Maria, StanJames, iGame and Bingo.com.

He was previously head of gaming and sportsbook and gaming director at BetBright.
In a statement, Kjell said: “Cristiano comes with over 10 years of online gambling experience and has proven knowledge of all verticals within gaming.

“Since joining Kindred, he has been a valuable contributor in the growth of our casino business and I feel confident he will continue on that positive journey, now expanding his realm with poker and bingo.”
