David Ganbarli
COO of Castrum Istanbul
David Ganbarli is the Chief Operating Officer at Castrum Istanbul, a role confirmed by multiple iGaming conference agendas including AIBC World, SiGMA World, and Affiliate Grand Slam, where he is listed as a speaker for 2024–2026 events.
Prior to his current position, Ganbarli served as Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO) at Castrum Capital, the venture and investment arm of the Castrum group, according to a company PDF from mid-2024. This suggests an internal progression within the Castrum ecosystem.
Earlier in his career, Ganbarli was a co-founder of Sardis Financial Technologies, Inc., a fintech venture, as referenced in a 2022 LinkedIn post by an industry colleague. He also appears as a seed investor in Klink Finance, though that detail is less substantiated.
Ganbarli is a regular speaker at blockchain and iGaming conferences, and his professional photo is available on several event and company pages.
