A former head of operations at Monzo has joined online casino business MrQ.

Lyndsey Edgar has been named COO at the UK firm, while Adam Ryan (ex-FinTech marketing leader) has joined as CMO, Katie Harbron (ex-Flutter, Sky Bet) as CPO and Toby Bentall (ex-Oddschecker) as CFO.

MrQ says it is ‘bringing Monzo-grade product thinking to one of the most outdated industries in consumer tech’ with the move as ‘most online casinos run on bloated third-party platforms, stitched together by committees and slowed by compliance red tape… MrQ is building everything in-house – from the product stack to the player experience’.

Founded in 2018, MrQ has scaled without venture backing or external shareholders, and been profitable from day one.
