Tekkorp Appoints African Partner as It Doubles Down on the Region

Tekkorp Capital, a major gaming investor and advisor, is doubling down on its efforts in Africa as it seeks to unlock the region’s potential. To that end, the firm appointed a new Africa partner who will spearhead its investment ambitions in the region.

O’Donovan Will Spearhead Tekkorp’s Expansion in Africa

The one up to the task was the experienced Conor O’Donovan who has served as the company’s associate partner since March 2023. In his new position, O’Donovan will be responsible for Tekkorp Capital’s expansion in the region.

The new appointee boasts years of experience in African gaming. In addition to that, he has robust investment experience in the region thanks to his time at Tribe54, a local investment firm. O’Donovan’s prior experience includes tenures at NewPlay Group, another investment firm, and Betyetu Group, an Africa-oriented betting and gaming operator.

O’Donovan has been tasked with identifying investment opportunities in Africa. In order to do this, he will assemble and lead a local team that will further the company’s goals in the region.

Tekkorp Will Turn Companies into Local Leaders

Tekkorp, for context, believes that Africa is a market that offers significant untapped potential and growth opportunities. Because of that, the investment firm hopes to channel more operators toward African gaming.

In order to achieve that, Tekkorp will provide crucial strategic, operational and technological backing to its partners, turning them into regional leaders.

O’Donovan, the newly-appointed African partner, is certain that Tekkorp is prepared to navigate Africa’s complexities and “bring out the potential in strong, locally led businesses.”

Our goal is to turn these promising companies into regional leaders, building a diversified portfolio of high-performing, compliant brands with strong governance, unblocking the barriers to major operators investing with confidence.
