Booming Games names Luke Sammut to newly created CFO role

Luke Sammut has been named Chief Financial Officer at Booming Games, a newly created role that will see him lead the company’s global financial strategy while overseeing reporting in multiple jurisdictions.

Mr Sammut has spent over eight years at Booming Games in various senior finance roles, most recently served as Director of Finance and Accounting. With a strong background in accountancy, along with a passion for the iGaming industry, he brings a wealth of both experience and sector knowledge to the team.

The creation of the CFO role, said the company, “marks the latest stage in the firm’s growth journey and demonstrates a clear commitment to attracting and nurturing top talent.”

Booming Games has been a provider of gaming content for over a decade, serving top-tier operators across regulated markets worldwide.

The new CFO role follows a string of recent senior promotions at Booming Games, with a new Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff announced last month. The developments come as the company headcount surpassed 200 people, with the growing C-suite ensuring the business continues to mature.

Max Niehusen, Founder of Booming Games, said: “We are delighted to announce Luke’s promotion, in what is a landmark moment for Booming Games as we appoint our first Chief Financial Officer. Over the past eight years, he has made an immense contribution to the business, playing an important role in our success during a key growth phase.

“I look forward to continuing working closely with him as we look to break new ground this year. As CFO, Luke’s experience will be critical as we expand our operations, with the aim of being regulated in every major market within the next five years.”

Mr Sammut said: “With ambitious growth targets, Booming Games’ rapid expansion shows no sign of slowing. I am proud to be taking up the position of CFO, helping to shape the next phase of our financial strategy, at such a pivotal moment for the business.

“With clear direction from a strong leadership team, Booming Games is well placed to build on its strong financial foundations and seize the opportunity to further cement its reputation for market-leading innovation.”
