AWS specialist joins go-to infrastructure provider to the regulated global online gambling industry

Continent 8 Technologies, the award-winning provider of managed hosting, connectivity, cloud and security solutions to the global online gambling industry, has welcomed Carl Bonner (pictured) as Regional Sales Director.

The appointment augments Continent 8 Technologies’ global sales team at a time when demand for its solutions and services continues to rise amid the ongoing roll-out of regulated online gambling in key jurisdictions around the world.

Bonner is a highly experienced cloud specialist and joins Continent 8 Technologies from Amazon Web Services (AWS) where he has been a senior account manager for the past three and a half years, co-founding the Betting & Gaming division, supporting a range of well-known iGaming brands with various AWS services.

Prior to that, he held senior roles at cloud-based enterprise software company, Oracle. This has seen him work with some of the biggest brands in Europe including Pret a Manger, WHSmith, Shazam, UiPath and ESET, supporting their cloud strategies and deployments.

He brings this wealth of experience to Continent 8 Technologies where he will be responsible for supporting the provider’s multi-cloud strategy and growing its customer base in core regulated iGaming markets such as the fast-growing United States market.

Continent 8 Technologies’ multi-cloud strategy allows it to support customers with its regulated Public Cloud and Private Cloud as well as Hyperscale Cloud solutions. It holds AWS Advanced Tier Consulting Partner status so that it can assist customers with AWS projects and deployments. It is also a Microsoft Silver Partner, augmenting its existing cloud offering with Microsoft Azure Stack.

“I’d like to welcome Carl to our global sales team and look forward to benefitting from his unrivalled experience with supporting well-known brands in the iGaming sector with cloud-based solutions,” the Chief Commercial Officer for Continent 8 Technologies, Brian B Koh, said. “We are the go-to regulated cloud provider for the biggest operators and suppliers in the industry and with Carl onboard we will be able to better support existing customers and drive awareness of our solutions and services among those not already working with Continent 8 Technologies.”

“Joining Continent 8 Technologies allows me to share my passion for cloud-based solutions with operators and suppliers in the iGaming industry, making them aware of the huge upsides they can unlock by utilising the cloud,” Bonner said. “I am thrilled to be joining such a respected business as Regional Sales Director and working with the wider team to not only meet but exceed our goals for growth.”
