Dominic Matthews recently was named chief operating officer at Sports Information Services Limited. Most recently he served as commercial projects director and retail operations director at Ladbrokes, where he was employed for 26 years. In his new position, Matthews will oversee all operational and commercial teams at SIS, including the company’s strategic direction and day-to-day functions.
Matthews will report directly to Chief Executive Richard Ames, formerly SIS product director, who took over the position in June. He stated, “Dominic’s appointment to our senior management team is a major coup for SIS and I’m delighted to welcome him to the company. He brings a wealth of experience to the role having been an integral part of the betting industry for so many years. After working with him during my time at Ladbrokes, I know he will prove to be a valuable asset as we look to improve our operations.”
Matthews stated, “I’m thrilled to be joining SIS and look forward to working with one of the industry’s most recognized brands. After many years working on the operator side of the industry, I’m excited to be taking on this new challenge. My aim is continue delivering the highest quality service to customers, as well as supporting Richard’s new leadership of the business.”
Ames added, “The newly-created role of COO is one of many changes at SIS recently, but these will allow us to develop a more customer-centric approach and maintain delivery of a very high quality of service.” Other appointments at SIS include Commercial Director Paul Witten being named product director, formerly held by Ames. In addition, Sandra McWilliams has been hired as sales director to lead the commercial team.
