Hacksaw has appointed Philippa Gregory Operational CEO of its wholly owned subsidiary Hacksaw Gaming, succeeding Marcus Cordes. The change was announced on 3 November. Cordes will focus on developing Hacksaw Markets, the group’s B2B prediction-markets business, while Luke Hammett, Chief Commercial Officer of Hacksaw Gaming in Malta, joins the group management team.
Transition timetable
Gregory joined Hacksaw Gaming in April 2022 and has been part of group management since January 2025. She and Cordes will work in parallel until 1 December to support the handover. After that date, Gregory will lead the core gaming business while Cordes builds the team and commercial direction for Hacksaw Markets.
Strategic significance
The move creates separate executive focus for the established games operation and the newer prediction-market technology line. For operator partners, the immediate point of contact for the gaming business changes, while the group is also assigning dedicated leadership to its event-contract infrastructure strategy.
