Betcade LLC, a California-based start-up business, known to be the first dedicated Android app store for real money gaming, announced that Paul Barclay has been named General Manager of Betcade Europe. Mr. Barclay will lead the company’s newly-established London office and will also be in charge of growth and commercial initiatives as well as payment operations.
Mr. Barclay is joining Betcade after spending nearly three years as Global Vice President of Sales and Leisure at Skrill. Prior to his appointment at the online payment solution provider, he had taken the same role at WorldPay for more than 15 years. His previous experience includes posts at Barclaycard and Barclays Bank.
A start-up company, headquartered in Pasadena, California, Betcade is a pioneer in the provision of a marketplace for real money gaming options for Android users. The company, which was founded earlier this year by David Chang, former Gamblit Gaming CMO, has previously pointed out that it is its main goal to turn into a market leader by offering a simplified installation process of betting options for Android.
Commenting on the newest addition to their team, Betcade CEO David Chang said that the post of a General Manager in London is extremely important for the company’s future ambitions. Mr. Chang further noted that it is really hard to find a person who has spend so much time in the industry, has so much knowledge of industry matters, and approaches issues in the most creative manner.
The executive also pointed out that what Mr. Barclay has discovered over the years was attractive enough to them as a start-up business and that they are happy to welcome their new General Manager who will most certainly help them “define the right culture and tone for the company.”
Of his appointment, Mr. Barclay said that he has decided to join Betcade as the company is offering a product that corresponds to and is driven by consumer demand. The official also noted that he has been in the industry for more than two decades and that has been enough to understand that the business has changed the way it has changed and is what it is now mainly because of the consumer.
