iGP names Jovana Popovic Canaki as CEO in ‘strategic rethink’

iGaming Platform (iGP) has announced Jovana Popovic Canaki as its new CEO.

Canaki – who joined the company in June 2024 as Deputy CEO – has been described as a ‘rising star’ in the industry.

The promotion follows a ‘strategic rethink’ and realignment for the platform business. 

Giovanni Paticchio, Chairman of iGP, commented: “Jovana has spent considerable time at the start of her tenure deeply engaging with our business and used that time to create a vision for iGP that is truly inspiring.

“I can confidently hand over the reins to iGP, knowing it is in great hands with Jovana leading and implementing the strategies that will take our company to the next level and solve the growth-restricting issues so many operators face.”

In detail, Canaki dropped iGP’s White Label solution from its portfolio, refocusing the iGP business toward being purely B2B.

In a career spanning seventeen years, Canaki has been at companies such as Bragg and Aspire Global, where she maximised partnerships and oversaw a number of product launches.

IGP underlined that Canaki’s promotion to CEO means that she is now one of only a handful of female CEOs at a B2B iGaming business.

“I am honoured to be named CEO of iGP, and thank Giovanni for this opportunity,” added Canaki. “I’ve spent my time here getting to know and understand our operators’ needs and really believe that iGP is the business to lead and solve their problems.

“We have an extremely exciting product roadmap for 2025. We’re launching our new retail and omni-channel solution at ICE, enhancing our crypto tools after launching in 2024, and on top of this, growing momentum with new operators joining across our platform and aggregator solutions.”

In a recent interview with SBC News, Canaki revealed iGP’s plans to launch three new crypto gaming brands and expand into at least two new markets.

She said: “The ambitions of iGP are very high. Our product pipeline is extremely big, from crypto solutions to the iGaming Deck gamification layer, the modernised front end and new markets.

“[However], the most important part is scalability, we want to find a way to increase that. Today we are probably in the hundreds for sites and brands and we want to be in the thousands.”
