Strive Gaming Brings the Right Person

Holmes has a long and established track record of working at important companies throughout various industries. He was VP of product for TwinSpires, Churchill Down’s interactive gaming division until recently and prior to joining Strive Gaming. Churchill Down though has chosen to refocus its efforts on land-based gaming and entertainment.

Commenting on this appointment, Strive Gaming CEO Max Meltzer welcomed the opportunity to be adding Andrew to the team. He called it a step forward for the company and a distinct advantage as Strive Gaming seeks to consolidate its presence in North America, focusing on B2B real money igaming.

“Andrew’s blend of experience across multiple industries such as gaming and finance – where he has worked on everything from unicorn-large business to small and mid-level business – plus his involvement in product and operations roles at C-level has convinced me he’ll be an ideal fit for this role.”
