iGaming Leadership in 2026: What Boards and Investors Want from the C-Suite

The demands on senior leaders in iGaming have changed significantly as the industry has regulated, scaled, and consolidated across multiple jurisdictions. Boards and investors are now asking for a different combination of skills, character, and judgement from the executives they appoint, and the criteria are evolving further as AI moves onto executive job specifications. In this episode of Connected with Pragmatic Solutions, CEO Ashley Lang speaks with Andrew Bulloss, Partner and Head of Global Gaming Practice at Odgers, about what effective senior leadership looks like in 2026. The discussion explores how leadership demands have shifted in regulated markets, how to match the right executive to the stage of a business, where out-of-sector talent succeeds and fails, and what aspiring C-suite candidates should be doing to prepare.
