His extensive leadership experience spans across diverse industries, including his role as CEO and Co-founder of Evensi, the world’s largest event discovery platform.

Operating from San Francisco, Paolo brings a strong presence in North America, particularly in Silicon Valley, aligning with Streamplay’s strategy to expand into new international markets. While Streamplay currently operates in South Africa, Senegal, the UAE, and across the Pacific Islands, Paolo’s leadership will be instrumental in advancing these operations while positioning the company for potential M&A activity and expansion into North America and other strategic regions.

Paolo’s appointment significantly strengthens Streamplay’s Board as the company continues its growth trajectory in the highly competitive gaming and entertainment space.

Chairman of the Board, Bert Mondello, commented:

We are delighted to welcome Paolo to the Streamplay Board. His extensive experience in evaluating and executing M&A opportunities, coupled with his deep-rooted values of integrity and resilience, will be instrumental in supporting Streamplay’s exploration of growth prospects in key international markets. Operating out of Silicon Valley, a global tech hub, Paolo will not only elevate the profile of Streamplay but also unlock new synergistic opportunities within the tech ecosystem. His presence will further open doors to an affluent, Tier 1 North American market, expanding our product base and driving innovation and strategic growth in competitive gaming and entertainment.

Paolo Privitera added:

I am thrilled to join Streamplay at such a pivotal time in its journey. Being based in San Francisco, I see immense opportunity to leverage the tech ecosystem here to further drive Streamplay’s innovative approach to gaming and entertainment. The company’s focus on cutting-edge solutions, combined with its expanding international presence, positions it for tremendous growth. I look forward to working closely with the Board and management team to help Streamplay tap into new markets and capitalise on the evolving opportunities in both North America and globally.

Driven by core values of integrity, speed, and resilience, Paolo has built a successful career as a global entrepreneur. His hands-on approach to corporate development and fundraising will bring key strategic direction to Streamplay’s leadership team, guiding the company through its next phase of growth and innovation.

Paolo’s appointment marks a significant step in Streamplay’s broader global expansion strategy and represents a key addition to the company’s leadership as it explores new opportunities across multiple regions expanding its reach beyond emerging markets into Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets, which include more established regions like North America and high-growth territories in emerging economies. His expertise will also support Streamplay’s exploration of complementary gaming verticals, positioning the company to leverage new opportunities in evolving segments of the gaming industry.
