PointsBet has hired industry veteran Aonghus Mulvihill as vice president, global sportsbook trading. Mulvihill will oversee a global team of sports analysts while creating and implementing trading risk management strategy and trading product development.
Mulvihill, who will report to Mark Hughes, PointsBet Group chief operating officer, brings almost 15 years of international sports betting experience to the job.
He served as director of corporate strategy at Flutter Group, head of performance, proposition, and trading at Betfair Exchange, and head of trading risk at Paddy Power.
“Having watched PointsBet’s incredible expansion, including the recent acquisition of Banach Technology in Ireland, I’m absolutely thrilled to join the leadership team for a truly unique company that is putting technology first and delivering an unparalleled experience for customers around the world,” Mulvihill said. “After shaking up the Australian betting market, PointsBet has quickly and strategically developed into one of the premium sportsbooks in the United States.”
Johnny Aitken, PointsBet USA CEO, can’t say enough about the hire. “PointsBet’s technology and the company culture we’re building has proven time and again to be a draw for our industry’s smartest minds, and the addition of Aonghus is another example of our commitment to and vision for excellence,” he said.
