Swintt Names Etienne Azzopardi Interim Managing Director

Swintt has confirmed that Etienne Azzopardi has assumed the role of Interim Managing Director as the company continues to reorganize its senior leadership team. The appointment follows the departure of chief executive David Mann and comes during a period of sustained commercial and geographic expansion for the software supplier.

Azzopardi steps into the interim position after several years in senior operational roles at Swintt. He joined the company in August 2021 as Director of Operations before being promoted to Chief Operating Officer in February 2022. Over that time, he has overseen a broad range of responsibilities tied to the company’s growth trajectory, including operational oversight, product planning, market entry processes, and regulatory approvals.

During his tenure at Swintt, Azzopardi has managed large-scale product deliveries and coordinated numerous client launches. His remit has also included supervision of market licensing and game certification activities, which have supported the supplier’s steady entry into new regulated jurisdictions. Last summer, Swintt expanded into its 13th regulated market with its launch in Italy, a notable milestone for a company that began operations in 2019.

In his new role, Azzopardi will retain responsibility for core operational areas while also taking charge of broader strategic priorities. These include shaping future product direction, guiding continued international expansion, and supporting internal team development as the company progresses through its next stage of growth.

Swintt has indicated that the interim appointment reflects confidence in Azzopardi’s familiarity with the business and his ability to maintain continuity during the leadership transition. The company expects his existing expertise to provide stability while additional executive changes are finalized.

Commenting on his appointment, Azzopardi said: “I’m very excited to be appointed as the Interim Managing Director at Swintt and hope I can repay the trust the company has shown in me by continuing the excellent work we’ve done over the past few years.”

Reflecting on the company’s evolution under the previous leadership, he added: “Under David Mann, Swintt grew from an innovative start-up to a software provider sought after for its portfolio of high-quality games with a far-reaching distribution across 13 regulated markets globally. In my new role, I fully intend to build on these strong foundations by helping the company expand its portfolio, grow our reach with new commercial partnerships, and make our content available in additional key markets – cementing our legacy in the industry as we enter the next phase of our evolution.”

Alongside changes at executive level, Swintt has continued to advance its footprint in regulated markets. Earlier this month, the supplier confirmed a new integration with Entain in Germany, marking another step forward in its European growth plans.

The agreement allows Entain to distribute a substantial number of Swintt’s Premium slot titles across its German-facing platforms, including the Bwin brand. The rollout follows regulatory approval for more than 100 Swintt games in the country, a development that represents a significant operational milestone for the supplier. With the integration now active, Swintt has confirmed that over 25 Premium titles are immediately available to German players, making it the company’s largest single market expansion in Germany so far.
