Player account management (PAM) platform specialist Pragmatic Solutions announced a major addition to its C-suite. According to the company’s latest announcement, the experienced Kieren Lovell will join its team as its new chief information security officer (CISO).
The Appointee Is a Cybersecurity Veteran
On November 5, Pragmatic Solutions confirmed Lovell’s appointment as CISO, saying that it aligns with its ongoing growth strategy. The company said that the addition is an “important step” in its continued evolution and a testament to its “dedication to robust governance and secure delivery for its clients.”
In his new position, the appointee will be tasked with overseeing all facets of security governance, platform security, and technical security compliance across the entire iGaming platform ecosystem. In his role, he will help Pragmatic Solution cement its strong position within the gaming industry.
Lovell is no stranger to the online security space, having previously served as a cybersecurity lecturer and supervisor at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He is no stranger to the gaming sector either, considering his recent stint as the head of computer emergency response at online gambling operator and B2B technology solutions provider BVGroup.
His earlier roles include time as CISO of NATO Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (Operation OCEAN SHIELD).
Lovell Joins at an Exciting Time
Pragmatic Solutions’ chief operating officer, Michael Boylan, welcomed Lovell to the team, saying that his appointment “strengthens a critical part” of the growing company. Boylan expressed trust in Lovell’s ability to bolster Pragmatic Solutions’ security and maintain its position as a trusted business.
His [Lovell’s] experience and leadership in cybersecurity bring an additional layer of assurance to our clients, reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a secure, compliant, and resilient platform environment.
