He also recently served as a non-executive director of William Hill PLC, one of the largest gambling operators in the UK, before its acquisition by Caesars Entertainment in April this year.

Brooker holds a master’s degree in Engineering, Economics and Management from Oxford University in the UK.

“Mark brings a wealth of highly applicable and complementary experience to further strengthen our board that we believe will be invaluable as we continue our growth as a newly public company and specialized payments leader,” said Philip McHugh, CEO of Paysafe. “We’re particularly excited to benefit from Mark’s unique input and perspectives with regards to iGaming – an industry we are intensely focused on as the U.S. market ramps up.”
