Ben Robinson
Ben Robinson is co-founder of boutique advisory firm RB Capital, focused on the igaming, fintech and media sectors.
RB works with both start-ups and scale-ups looking to raise capital and also established businesses looking to take
their business to the next level or initiate a liquidity event. He keeps a keen eye on emerging technology, especially
distributed ledger or blockchain. Ben believes this burgeoning sector has massive potential, both in disrupting legacy
payment systems and money remittance, and also in enabling emerging markets to enter e-commerce. In the first of
a monthly column for iGaming Business, Ben digs into the data to identify how the transition to regulated markets is
driving sector M&A strategies.

Paul worked for a number of investment banks, most recently Investec and Collins Stewart (now Cannacord). Following
on from this, he moved into the industry as corporate development director for William Hill, advising on retail strategy,
regulatory issues, the racing industry, supply chain management and M&A. Paul has proven strategic and analytical
skills, as well as in-depth sector knowledge and a broad range of industry and professional services contacts.

joined TVSquared in 2012 as head of modelling and visualisation. He rose to the position of CTO in February this year
via a three-and-a-half-year stint as chief analytics officer and global head of presales. In his own words: “Analytics-
wise I can manually Fourier transform a timeseries printed in invisible ink on a postage stamp with one eye closed at
100 feet, while solving the four-dimensional Rubik’s cube behind my back and singing the Mauritanian national anthem
in 7/9 time”. However, in this issue he merely writes on executing creative compliance under the Advertising Standards
Authority and Committee of Advertising Practice’s new guidelines for gambling ads.
