Hanai said: "I'm delighted to be joining Smarkets, a business that I have followed since the very beginning of its journey and seen blossom into one of the world's leading sports betting companies. I can't wait to get stuck into realizing SBK's potential in the US where our industry-leading odds can make a huge impact."

Hanai will begin in the newly created role on 13 June, and whilst Smarkets currently has offices in London, Malta, and Los Angeles, Hanai will work out of a new office in a soon-to-be-revealed East Coast location. He will join the Smarkets Executive Leadership Team and report to CEO/Founder Jason Trost, who added: "I'm super excited about Sheldon joining us to head up our push into the US. We have looked far and wide for the right candidate for what is an absolutely crucial role as we expand our footprint in the States. Sheldon was an outstanding choice and I couldn't be more pleased that he's joining us."
