He has held a variety of executive roles in the US and Europe over his 10 plus years working within the operations team at Cerberus, including his role at Coral Interactive.
Prior to Cerberus, Prevost was a consultant at McKinsey.
Welcoming the appointment, Adam Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Roar, said:
“I am delighted to appoint Matt to the team. Matt brings a unique combination of experience and expertise in Europe’s most competitive betting environment with a deep understanding of the US consumer and media landscape.
