He is known for playing an essential role in developing a regulatory framework for historical horse racing. However, his technical acumen and knowledge of developing and implementing compliance programs will greatly benefit a wide array of our clients. He has earned the trust of both regulators and the industry, and we are grateful to have him on the team.”  Grunther has a sound history in the iGaming and sports betting industry, and in his new role at GLI, he will provide ongoing commercial and client support to both suppliers and operators in the space.
