Altenar Strengthens Sportsbook Product Leadership with Two Senior Hires

Altenar has further solidified its position as a leading provider of sportsbook solutions with the appointment of Nikos Zygouris as Head of Sportsbook Product and Alfred Bashllari as Sportsbook Product Consultant.

Bringing more than three decades of combined experience in iGaming and sports betting, both professionals add significant strategic expertise to support Altenar’s ongoing commitment to innovation and high-performance solutions that deliver greater value to operators.

Experience That Drives Innovation

Zygouris joins Altenar from Campeon Gaming, where he served as Head of Product, and brings over 12 years of industry experience from leading companies such as Novibet, Intralot, and OpenBet.

Meanwhile, Bashllari brings two decades of experience in product development, operations, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A), having held senior positions at major industry players including Sportradar, Betgenius, Scientific Games, and OPAP. His in-depth understanding of the sports betting, gaming, and lottery sectors will enhance Altenar’s strategic decision-making.

These appointments represent another step forward in Altenar’s evolution as a partner-driven technology provider, strengthening its ability to deliver scalable, flexible, and market-ready sportsbook solutions for a growing number of operators worldwide.
