Online casino game developer Peter & Sons has beefed up its powerhouse of talent with two new hires as it flexes new muscle found in a recent significant investment from SkillOnNet.
Coming on as a co-CEO is SkillOnNet’s senior vice president of corporate development, Maor Nutkevitch. The CEO will stay on with his position at SkillOnNet and help Peter & Sons navigate its way through the already charted pathways to expansion and growth in regulated markets that are key to its success as a challenger brand among the standard-bearers of Tier-one operations.
Account management will be headed up by the experience mind and hand of Christina Mirnaia, an experienced business management professional with CV jump-outs including important roles at Bwin Party and Entain, but most recently at the so-far unsung creative dynamo of Barbara Bang where Mirnaia was most recently Head of Partnerships and Business Development.
Adds to Crucial Partnerships
Peter & Sons already has crucial partnerships with more well-known brands such as Bragg Gaming (formerly Oryx), Relax, and Yggdrasil. Mirnaia will deepen those partnerships while bringing new business in through Peter & Sons’ new remote gaming server platform.
The account manager said: “It’s always exciting to join a fast-growing project and to be part of building something special and Peter & Sons has been like a breath of fresh air for the industry.
“The games are already famous for their creativity, art, and math, and that makes my job a whole lot easier. I also can’t wait to start working with the Peter & Sons team, which is amazingly dynamic, professional, and creative, producing games that are already making waves in the industry,” Mirnaia said.
For those as yet unfamiliar with the Peter & Sons portfolio of games, the company “works with world-class artists, mathematicians, and musicians to produce some of the most innovative, creative, and entertaining slots on the market,” according to a press release the company issued announcing the two new hires.
Among its most popular and well-executed games are Legend of Musashi, Dragon Blox, and the recently released title, Book of Books – a bold take on a popular but highly competitive genre in game theme and mechanics.
Peter & Sons Rising
SkillOnNet could have chosen to incubate, invest, and stand behind any number of up-and-coming talent powerhouses out there and this deal bodes well for the as-yet unseen-by most outright low rumble of absolute power intrinsic in the young studio.
“Peter & Sons’ partnership with SkillOnNet allows it to target many new regulated markets, such as the UK, Spain, Germany, Ontario, and more,” Nutkevitch said.
“Having the ability to distribute the games in many regulated markets is a fantastic platform for growth which is not always available for relatively new studios. It’s really exciting to be part of a project at such a key moment in Peter & Sons’ trajectory.”
Peter & Sons founder and commercial director, Yann Bautista added: “I’d officially like to welcome Maor and Christina to the team and say how thrilled we are to have you both on board. This is a major milestone in the short life of our studio as we continue our journey to becoming a major force in the content world.”
