David da Silva takes over as Managing Director of mkodo from Stuart Godfree

(AsiaGameHub) –   mkodo has appointed David da Silva as its new Managing Director, succeeding Co-Founder Stuart Godfree in a change of leadership.

As the Pollard Banknote-owned firm celebrates 25 years in business and continues its growth, da Silva contributes his expertise in product, commercial strategy, and regulated iGaming markets.

As mkodo moves into a new era, Godfree was commended for his role in the company’s development, steering it from a pioneer in early mobile innovation to an internationally recognised technology provider for operators.

Godfree commented: “Achieving 25 years is a significant milestone for mkodo. The company is well-positioned, with established technology, enduring partnerships, and a superb team. 

“Under David’s guidance, mkodo will maintain its innovative edge while concentrating on reliability, compliance, and user experience in the globe’s most heavily regulated markets.”

In his new role as Managing Director, da Silva is of the view that iGaming operators who can prove their experience and build trust will be the ones to thrive. 

He remarked: “Fundamentally, iGaming is an entertainment service—yet it now functions under strict regulatory oversight. The successful operators going forward will be those capable of providing seamless, captivating experiences alongside strong, automated compliance. Achieving this equilibrium will separate the leaders from the rest.”

Under its new Managing Director, mkodo plans to grow its core product offerings, such as GeoLocs, to help operators navigate international regulations and provide superior player experiences.

da Silva added: “Regulatory landscapes in markets such as Brazil and parts of North America, including the recent developments in Alberta, Canada, are changing rapidly. This presents both potential and challenges. Our mission is to empower operators to expand with assurance—creating enjoyable experiences for players while upholding the most rigorous compliance standards internally.”
