Grech has been with the iGaming and sports betting affiliate since 2020, when he started as corporate IT team lead, and has since held positions including head of infrastructure and, most recently, director of technical operations, where he looked after platform development and technical infrastructure. In his new role, he will be responsible for Catena’s technology and development strategy, with a focus on strengthening its digital capabilities to support new revenue streams.
Manuel Stan, CEO of Catena Media, shared:
“Stefan knows how we work, has strong relationships across the business and brings the institutional knowledge we need. As we embed AI and automation across Catena, he is the right person to lead our technology team. His appointment also reflects the value we attach to building leadership from within.”
The appointment comes as Catena Media looks beyond its traditional affiliate business, having recently moved into prediction markets and made a strategic investment in Repackz.fun as part of a push into pack rips. Last month, Stan also warned in a preliminary update that the company’s third-quarter results would show the impact of fast-moving changes in search trends.
