Starting at William Hill, Nindi went on to spend over a decade at Paddy Power where he progressed through the ranks to become Head of Retail Compliance and Safer Gambling for UK and Ireland. As a Personal Management Licence holder, he led the retail business through a Gambling Commission assessment with no enforcement action, rolled out a staged affordability trial across a quarter of the UK estate, and drove up customer interaction rates all whilst chairing a working group with a lived-experience panel in order to keep safer gambling policy grounded and authentic.

Welcoming the latest addition to Game Nation’s senior leadership team, CEO Mark Jepp said: “Successful consumer-facing businesses must have the very best talent working at every level of the organisation. In what is a highly regulated sector having the highest standards of compliance and social responsibility undertakings are simply non-negotiable. Nindi has built a highly successful career working for some of the best-known operators in the betting space: I am delighted that he has opted to bring that calibre of experience, expertise and insight to Game Nation.”

Looking ahead to the next chapter in his career, Nindi said: “What really attracted me to Game Nation was the people. From senior leadership to venue teams, everyone I met was welcoming, passionate, and invested in the business. People make businesses and I’m genuinely excited about working with the team to help deliver the very best version of what is already a quite outstanding high street gaming brand.”
