Relax Gaming has appointed Tony O’Mahony as Chief Product Officer. The appointment follows the departure of former CPO Shelley Hannah.
O’Mahony most recently worked as a Product Strategy Consultant within the iGaming space. His career includes several senior leadership positions across the industry.
He previously held Chief Product Officer roles at Casumo, A5 Labs, and Gaming Innovation Group. Before that, he served as Vice President of Product at Lottoland.
The company describes O’Mahony as having experience building and scaling product teams. His appointment marks what Relax Gaming calls “a new chapter” in their product development.
Why Relax Gaming Made This Executive Change
The CPO position became vacant after Shelley Hannah’s recent departure from the company. Relax Gaming needed to fill this key leadership role to maintain its product operations.
O’Mahony’s background spans multiple iGaming companies. This gives him experience across different business models and market segments.
His track record includes scaling product teams at established operators. Gaming Innovation Group and Casumo both operate in competitive European markets.
The appointment comes as iGaming companies focus more heavily on product differentiation. Many suppliers are expanding their product teams to meet operator demands.
What O’Mahony’s Role Will Involve
As CPO, O’Mahony will lead Relax Gaming’s product division. His responsibilities include working with technical, commercial, and operational teams.
The role focuses on product strategy and execution across the company. This involves coordinating between different departments on product development.
CEO Martin Stålros commented on the appointment: “We’re delighted to welcome Tony to Relax Gaming. His deep product knowledge, coupled with extensive industry experience, make him an ideal fit for the next phase of our growth.”
Stålros added: “Tony’s collaborative approach and strategic mindset align perfectly with our culture, and I’m confident he’ll have a major impact as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation.”
How O’Mahony Views His New Position
O’Mahony expressed enthusiasm about joining Relax Gaming. He said: “I’ve long admired Relax Gaming for its product-led ethos, strong values, and standout reputation in the industry.”
He continued: “I’m genuinely excited to be joining such a talented and passionate team, and I’m looking forward to helping build on the foundations already in place.”
The new CPO stressed the collaborative nature of product development. “Product success is always a team effort, and I can’t wait to get started, meet the wider team, and play my part in what’s next for Relax,” he stated.
His appointment represents Relax Gaming’s continued investment in senior talent. The company operates as both an aggregator and supplier in the competitive iGaming market.
The timing of the hire coincides with ongoing consolidation across the iGaming industry. Many companies are strengthening their executive teams to support growth plans.
