(Douglas).- By appointing Jacob Portelli as Sales Manager, Altenar bolsters its commercial team while pushing ahead with its growth plans in Asian and African markets.
Altenar has appointed Jacob Portelli as Sales Manager, strengthening the sportsbook provider’s commercial team as it continues to target growth in Asian and African markets.
Portelli brings five years of iGaming experience, most recently serving as Business Development Manager at Celestar Malta.
