Eberhard Dürrschmid, CEO of Golden Whale, said: “Marcel’s appointment is a signal of the increasing depth of the work we are doing here at Golden Whale and our commitment to theoretical excellence.

His deep expertise across both AI and game development makes him the perfect fit as we continue to strengthen our position as a leading provider of decision intelligence across the iGaming industry.”

Marcel Wasserer, Chief Scientific Officer at Golden Whale, added: “I’ve worked closely with the Golden Whale team over the last 21 months, and I’m delighted to take on the role of Chief Scientific Officer.

“The company continues to build momentum in the iGaming space, and I look forward to becoming a deeper part of that journey and helping shape its next stages.”
