Andrew Holmes joins Strive Gaming as new COO
Holmes has more than 20 years of experience in the banking, eCommerce and B2C gaming fields.
Strive Gaming has appointed Andrew Holmes to serve on the company’s leadership team as its Chief Operating Officer. His responsibilities will include aiding in the development of Strive’s real money iGaming platform and assisting with preparations for regulatory changes throughout Canada and the US.
Holmes will join a senior management team comprised of CEO Max Meltzer, President and CCO Damian Xuereb, and CTO Jesse Cary.
He will be based out of the company’s Vancouver main office.
Holmes’ experience in the industry spans over more than two decades. His skillset includes work in the fields of banking, eCommerce and B2C gaming.
Strive Gaming CEO Max Meltzer said: “Appointing Andrew as our new COO represents another significant step forward for Strive Gaming as we continue to deliver on our promise of becoming the leading B2B real money iGaming platform in North America.
“Andrew’s blend of experience across multiple industries such as gaming and finance – where he has worked on everything from unicorn-large business to small and mid-level business – plus his involvement in product and operations roles at C-level, has convinced me he’ll be an ideal fit for this role. As we continue to evolve, I’m sure he’ll demonstrate leadership excellence from our main Vancouver office and across our global, 24/7 operations to further enhance our service to customers.”
Prior to stepping into his new role with Strive, Holmes held a position with Churchill Downs Inc. as its TwinSpires Vice President of Product. He also spent two years serving as the Direct of Product Management at DocuSign.
Holmes commented: “Joining Strive as COO represents the culmination of an incredible few years within the iGaming industry for me on a personal level. I already see the business as the market leading platform in the US and Canada and I’m very much looking forward to doing everything I can to cement that status through product and operational excellence.
“It’s an incredibly exciting challenge for me to be joining Strive at such a crucial time for the business, but I believe with the industry experience I can bring to the role plus the support of such an incredible team, we can achieve our ambitions and make 2022 a truly ground-breaking year for the company.”
