Challenger games development studio Peter & Sons has welcomed two high-profile hires as the company expands its management following significant investment from global entertainment brand SkillOnNet.

SkillOnNet’s senior vice president of corporate development, Maor Nutkevitch, will join as co-CEO of Peter & Sons. Nutkevitch, who will retain his position at SkillOnNet, will help lead the company into the crucial second phase of its lifecycle as it braces for growth and expansion into key regulated markets.

Meanwhile, experienced business development professional Christina Mirnaia will come on board to lead the account management department. Formerly Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Barbara Bang, Mirnaia has an impressive track record in the online gaming industry that includes prominent roles at Entain and Bwin Party.

Mirnaia will work to deepen crucial existing relationships with clients like Yggdrasil, Relax Gaming and Bragg Gaming, while driving new engagements through Peter & Sons’ new RGS platform.

“It’s always exciting to join a fast growing project and to be part of building something special and Peter & Sons has been like a breath of fresh air for the industry,” Mirnaia said. “The games are already famous for their creativity, art, and math, and that makes my job a whole lot easier. I also can’t wait to start working with the Peter & Sons team, which is amazingly dynamic, professional and creative, producing games that are already making waves in the industry.”

Peter & Sons works with world-class artists, mathematicians, and musicians to produce some of the most innovative, creative, and entertaining slots on the market. These include richly themed fantasy adventure titles like the recent Book of Books, Dragon Blox and Legend of Musashi.

Nutkevitch said the company’s deal with SkillOnNet means the future is bright for the young studio.

“Peter & Sons’ partnership with SkillOnNet allows it to target many new regulated markets, such as the UK, Spain, Germany, Ontario and more,” he said. “Having the ability to distribute the games in many regulated markets is a fantastic platform for growth which is not always available for relatively new studios. It’s really exciting to be part of a project at such a key moment in Peter & Sons’ trajectory.”

Yann Bautista, Peter & Sons founder and commercial director, said: “I’d officially like to welcome Maor and Christina to the team and say how thrilled we are to have you both on board. This is a major milestone in the short life of our studio as we continue our journey to becoming a major force in the content world.”

SPORTFIVE, a leading international sports marketing agency, has announced the continued growth of its global media production services, reinforcing its position as a creative and strategic partner to rightsholders, brands and athletes worldwide.

An Integrated Approach To Athlete Content

With increasing demand for high-quality, digital-first storytelling across sport, SPORTFIVE has scaled its production capabilities across multiple markets – enhancing its ability to deliver original content, multi-platform campaigns, and athlete-led narratives at speed and at scale. As part of this evolution, the agency has brought together and formalized its athlete content expertise into a focused division dedicated to developing and producing bespoke media products for talent: the Global Athlete Media House. Integrated within SPORTFIVE’s broader production offering, this team delivers tailored strategies and cross-channel content that supports athletes in building long-term personal brands.

SPORTFIVE has long been a trusted partner for athletes seeking to strengthen their presence beyond the pitch, court, or track. From building digital identities and launching social media profiles, to producing documentaries and long-form content, the agency has played a pivotal role in helping athletes engage fans and position themselves as global media personalities.

Notable work includes Jürgen Klopp’s Instagram launch (@Kloppo), Manuel Neuer’s entry into the Chinese market via Weibo and Xiaohongshu, and Rio Ferdinand’s Tipping Point documentary with Amazon Prime Video. More recently, SPORTFIVE supported the Becker Petkovic Podcast, launched during the 2025 Australian Open, which quickly became one of the most popular tennis podcasts in German-speaking markets.

The Global Athlete Media House builds on this foundation, offering services across four key pillars:

Social Media
Custom content and platform strategy tailored to each athlete’s brand and audience.

Podcast Formats
Concept development, production, and distribution of athlete-hosted audio and video formats.

Off-Court PR
Media activations and storytelling designed to extend athlete relevance beyond competition.

Original Content
From branded videos to full-scale documentaries, creating high-quality stories that resonate globally.

These services are available not only to SPORTFIVE-represented athletes, but also to brands, rightsholders, and external talent seeking strategic, athlete-first media production.

“Athletes today are more than just sports professionals – they are brands, creators, and entrepreneurs. At SPORTFIVE, we recognized early on that authentic, high-quality content is essential for building long-term athlete brands. With the Global Athlete Media House, we are taking the next step by combining our expertise and services in one department. This provides not only our own athletes with a range of services but also extends these to external partners.” said Ron Wiegand, Senior Vice President Global Athlete & Team Marketing, SPORTFIVE.
