Enhancing Cloud Expertise

This significant addition to Continent 8’s team underscores the company’s dedication to enhancing its AWS solutions and services. Gabrielli’s tenure at AWS, spanning over four years, saw him supporting a diverse array of businesses within the betting and gaming sector, providing technical guidance and assisting in the development of innovative cloud solutions on the AWS platform.

O’Connor also emphasized the company’s ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive cloud solutions, mentioning, “Our customers already trust us with the deployment and management of their AWS Outpost solutions and they leverage extensive network peering with AWS; we’re going to offer customers so much more in 2024 and our new team members will play a big role in that.”

A Strategic Focus on Multi-Cloud Strategy

Gabrielli’s arrival follows the recent appointment of Carl Bonner as Regional Sales Director, further reinforcing Continent 8’s dedication to its multi-cloud strategy. Both Gabrielli and Bonner, with their extensive AWS expertise, underscore Continent 8’s commitment to providing top-tier cloud solutions to its clientele.

Expressing his enthusiasm about the new role, Gabrielli remarked, “I am excited to support Continent 8’s incredible customer base in maximising the potential of the cloud. Continent 8 has built a great team of cloud specialists and I’m thrilled to be working alongside some truly talented people as we continue to enhance our offering and strengthen our relationship with customers by supporting them on their cloud journey.”
