Wheeler brings over a decade of enterprise sales, SaaS innovation, and iGaming leadership experience
New York, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Optimove, the leader in Positionless Marketing and the #1 player engagement platform in iGaming, today announced that after more than two years of activity in the Asia-Pacific, it has opened operations in the region. iGaming veteran, Jack Wheeler, has been appointed the Head of APAC.
Wheeler brings more than ten years of experience in enterprise sales, SaaS innovation, and iGaming. He most recently served as Co-Founder and COO of PRLY, a community-based SaaS platform for the sports and iGaming sectors. His prior roles include leadership positions at Salesforce, where he helped drive APAC initiatives, as well as advisory roles with iGaming syndicates and equity positions in multiple Asia-based iGaming start-ups.
“Jack brings an exceptional mix of entrepreneurial drive, enterprise experience, and regional expertise to Optimove,” said Motti Colman, VP of Revenue at Optimove. “His deep understanding of both the iGaming and sports industries, paired with his proven ability to scale partnerships in APAC, makes him the ideal leader for our expansion in this fast-growing market.”
As Head of APAC, Wheeler will focus on growing Optimove’s presence among iGaming operators across the region.
“This is a pivotal moment for iGaming in APAC,” said Wheeler. “The fast growth across the region, particularly in the Philippines and Malaysia, presents a major opportunity for brands to scale smarter, faster, and more profitably. Optimove’s experience in helping operators grow across the globe will be a boon to APAC operators as they map out their strategy. Optimove’s Positionless Marketing approach, and the fact that it is the number one engagement platform in iGaming, makes this especially exciting to me.”
Optimove’s APAC expansion comes in response to rising global demand for unified marketing platforms that combine data, automation, and personalization at scale. By enabling marketers to independently launch personalized, real-time campaigns, Optimove is transforming how iGaming operators grow player relationships and lifetime value.
A key offering for the region is Optimove’s Ignite+ program. The comprehensive program is designed to accelerate growth for emerging iGaming and sports betting operators.
