Croatia – Double hire signals Huddle future growth intent

Huddle, the next generation iGaming technology developer, has hired Josipa Marenić and Mário Silva as its new Head of People and Culture and Senior Product Manager respectively, in a move that sees more industry talent join the rapidly growing startup.

Marenić, who has held positions at the likes of Croatia-based software providers Lemax and Deegloo, brings with her years of experience in people management. Silva has more than seven years of industry experience, having most recently held senior roles at OpenBet.

Marenić will use her in-depth understanding of human resources to further enhance Huddle’s positive culture of team-based development, where Silva’s extensive knowledge of product development will see him add further potency to Huddle’s portfolio of next-gen gaming solutions.

The two join the increasing number of recent new hires by the company, including VP Compliance Zeljka Perkovic, Senior Software Engineer Piotr Droździel, and Quantitative Analyst Klavs Riekstins, all of whom have left large corporates to join Huddle’s unique culture of empowerment.
