Product and financial markets executive to lead ROLR prediction markets platform development, launch execution and global product strategy
LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Roller Technologies, Inc. ("High Roller" or the "Company") (NYSE: ROLR), a publicly traded online gaming and prediction markets company, today announced the appointment of Thomas Scaria, CFA, to the newly created position of Chief Product Officer, reporting to CEO Seth Young. The creation of the Chief Product Officer position further expands High Roller's leadership and product-development capabilities as the Company prepares to launch ROLR prediction markets and continues to invest in its broader portfolio of real-money consumer products.
"Thomas brings a rare combination of product leadership, financial markets expertise, technical understanding, and entrepreneurial experience that is highly relevant to the next phase of High Roller's growth," said Seth Young, Chief Executive Officer of High Roller Technologies. "As we advance toward the launch of the ROLR prediction markets platform domestically and internationally, disciplined product strategy and execution will be critical. The creation of the Chief Product Officer position reflects that priority, and we are pleased to welcome Thomas to our leadership team."
"I'm excited to join High Roller," said Scaria. "Prediction markets are the expression of a market in its most primitive form: one clear real-world outcome you can take a view on. You don't need to learn the underlying complexity associated with other derivatives like options, swaps and futures. The removal of that educational barrier is why prediction markets have exploded into mainstream culture. ROLR sits on established, federally regulated U.S. derivatives infrastructure, and we're focused on turning that foundation into novel consumer experiences that expand the category."
Scaria will lead the Company's product vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution across its prediction markets business. His responsibilities include overseeing the development and optimization of the ROLR prediction markets platform, and working across technology, compliance, operations, marketing, and commercial partnerships to deliver intuitive, engaging, and scalable customer experiences.
