In his new role with Better Collective, Harding will be responsible for scaling the media partnership business while collaborating across various teams and departments.
He will report to Better Collective South America CEO and SVP for group media and core sites Simon Hovmand-Stilling.
Harding has joined the affiliate giant as of today, 1 February.
Speaking on his appointment, Harding said: “For many years, I have followed the impressive growth journey Better Collective has been on where they’ve successfully managed to diversify its business model, including entering into media partnerships with leading media outlets across the world.
“I am glad to join the strong team at Better Collective to further strengthen our position as the preferred partner for media businesses on our journey towards becoming the leading digital sports media group,” he added.
Meanwhile, Hovmand-Stilling said: “Guy comes with a lot of knowledge and experience from the media and igaming industry and from day one will be able to contribute with valuable knowledge and perspectives which will both benefit the media partnership division and benefit the entire group. I am glad to welcome Guy to the team.”
