NOBLE MOVES AGAIN
Brief tenure at English Harbour group
Online gambling exec Simon Noble's tenure at English Harbour group was pretty brief, according to reports this week. The former Intertops and BetWWTS CEO has reportedly joined the staff of Pinnacle Sports.
English Harbour issued a press release some five months ago announcing that Noble had joined the group as Executive Vice President of Business Development with the goals of accelerating the company's strategic partnership initiatives, securing alliances for online poker and increasing the company's market penetration into new markets.
Noble has been a pioneer in the burgeoning online gaming industry since 1996. He left WWTS to join English Harbour group late last year, after which WWTS was sold.
Prior to joining WWTS, Noble was Chief Executive Officer of Intertops.com, the company he co-founded, which claimed to be the first company to accept a wager over the Internet in January 1996. Under Noble's direction, Intertops.com experienced explosive growth to a registered user base of over 500,000 customers in nearly 200 countries worldwide.
Noble answered our request for comment with the following, "I have joined Pinnacle and the simple reason is that I just missed the sports too much. I guess after 15 years as a bookmaker it's in the blood."
