Continent 8 Technologies, a renowned supplier of managed hosting, connectivity, cloud, and security solutions for the worldwide online gambling sector, is pleased to announce the addition of Carl Bonner as its Regional Sales Director.

This appointment strengthens Continent 8's world sales squad at a period when the request for its products and services is increasing due to the ongoing expansion of regulated online gambling in core jurisdictions globally.

Before his tenure at AWS, Carl held senior positions at Oracle, a cloud-based software brand. In these roles, he collaborated with major European brands such as Pret a Manger, WHSmith, Shazam, UiPath, and ESET, assisting them with their cloud strategies and deployments.

Bringing his extensive experience to Continent 8, Carl will be tasked with supporting the provider's multi-cloud principle and expanding its customer base in key regulated iGaming jurisdictions, including the rapidly growing US industry.

Continent 8's multi-cloud strategy enables it to assist customers with regulated Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Hyperscale Cloud solutions. The company holds AWS Advanced Tier Consulting Partner status, allowing it to support users with AWS solutions and deployments. Additionally, it is a Microsoft Silver Partner, enhancing its cloud offerings with Microsoft Azure Stack.

Official Statements

Brian B. Koh, CCO at Continent 8, expressed his excitement about Carl joining the global sales team, anticipating the benefits of Carl's unparalleled experience in supporting famous companies in the iGaming industry with cloud-based products.
