Yolo Group Taps Ex-Flutter Specialist as Chief Product Officer

Yolo Group has enhanced its leadership team with another noteworthy appointment, naming the experienced Ashley-Christian Hardy as its new chief product officer. Boasting years of experience at gaming companies, Hardy will now be responsible for the group’s product growth initiatives.

As mentioned, the new hire boasts years of product experience and is the founder of The Product Hub, a Malta-based product management firm.

In addition, Hardy has years of industry experience and has served a variety of companies, such as the gambling giant Flutter International. As a member of one of the largest gambling companies in the world, Hardy was a part of a family of some 15,000 employees.

Serving as head of product change and portfolio, he was responsible for defining a product change strategy and helping a large product organization “operate at scale, to discover and deliver new products and features in a customer-centric way.”

Prior to his two-year stint with Flutter, Hardy spent almost four years at Gaming Innovation Group (GiG). He joined the company as head of product in 2018 and was eventually promoted to director of product & design.

In the latter role, he was responsible for the full suite of GiG products. Tasked with coaching a product management team with a start-up mentality, Hardy eventually succeeded in nurturing it into a mature team with clear responsibilities.   

His qualities as a product specialist and team leader are what made him a perfect fit for the Yolo Group team.
