"Always lead by example and respect. Leadership is not just about giving instructions, but also about demonstrating those actions and fostering a culture of respect"

Business Profile

I am the CEO of Religa, a leading B2B live casino supplier. At Religa, we’re passionate about delivering unique, boutique live casino products that exceed our clients' expectations. With over a decade of industry experience, we've developed a fresh and innovative platform that brings together the best of land-based casinos and online gaming.

My journey in the gaming industry began as a Technical Support Officer, back in 2011, just after graduating, and continued to evolve in different technical roles, mainly in networking and custom and complex audio-visual setups relating to live casino. I switched to Operations Management in 2018 and was promoted to CEO in 2022. I’ve held this role ever since.

Technology and innovation are key in live casino. Growth can only be driven by advances in technology and customisation of the product. Success stems from a great team with a proactive attitude toward challenges and clearly defined roles and responsibilities, ensuring accountability at every level.

At Religa, we always fuelled our growth by instilling a mindset of leading by example and with respect. Leadership is not just about giving instructions, but also about demonstrating those actions and fostering a culture of respect. You must love what you do to keep yourself motivated and come up with new innovative ideas, to keep going in this highly demanding and competitive industry.
