Lucky Shankar.
Senior Recruitment Consultant
I come from business studies; fashion, and luxury, while having multiple years of experience in leading retail store sales teams. Being a people person and having Sales embedded in my professional DNA, I switched my career completely to be more independent and self-driven, which is why recruitment attracts me the most as a career. I want to use my position in recruiting to assist people in transitioning to newer opportunities and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the industry.
I will primarily be focusing on multi-lingual customer service roles in KYC and responsible gaming, while also handling live dealing and game presenter roles, whilst also promoting roles that are a fantastic gateway into the iGaming industry.
In my personal time, I am quite keen about fashion, sustainability, and beer culture.
