Press release.- Altenar<\/a> has invested in its presence in South Africa with the appointment of Brendon Jeacocks as regional director<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his role, Jeacocks will drive growth for Altenar in South Africa<\/strong>, where it already offers its tailored premium data providers, localised sports offering and mobile app aimed at players in the mobile-first market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Quaye, <\/strong>CFO at Altenar, said: “We are delighted to welcome Brendon to the team as he builds our on-the-ground presence in South Africa. His expertise in the market will undoubtedly help us achieve strong growth in our first year as a licensed provider in the country. He is well-positioned to forge partnerships and help us tailor our product to meet the region’s growing demand for localised sports betting solutions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brendon Jeacocks, <\/strong>regional director at Altenar<\/a>, said: “I’m pleased to be joining Altenar at such an exciting time for the company’s ambitions in Africa. I’m currently based in Cape Town and will serve as the local point of contact for our operations here. I look forward to helping to develop Altenar’s presence in South Africa and connecting with the rest of the industry.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
