i3D.net, a global leader in scalable infrastructure solutions, is proud to announce the appointment of Ivo Teel as its new Chief Executive Officer. Ivo succeeds Rick Sloot, who has served as Interim CEO for the past ten months. Rick will transition into the role of Chief of Staff, supporting Ivo on key strategic initiatives as i3D.net continues its evolution enabling customers, both within and beyond the gaming industry, to truly scale.  

A Leader Built for i3D.net’s Next Chapter

With over a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling gaming studios and interactive digital experiences including live services, media platforms and enterprise applications, Ivo brings a deep understanding of i3D.net’s customers and their evolving needs. Making him uniquely positioned to lead the company into its next phase.  

I've evaluated i3D.net from a customer perspective and deeply understand our customers' needs," Ivo explains. "We've embarked on a journey that enables our customers to focus on building digital platforms, services, and great games while we take care of the global infrastructure and products that allows them to truly scale.

Ivo Teel, CEO, i3D.net

Ivo joined i3D.net as Chief Technology Officer in March 2024, where he has been instrumental in guiding the company’s technical evolution and product strategy.  He brings a wealth of experience as a strategic and visionary leader in (gaming) technology, having previously served as CTO and VP of Product at Spill Games, where he led product pivots and industry transitions.

At Riot Games, Ivo operated globally as Head of Technology, shaping international technology strategy and supporting global engineering coordination enabling launches of major titles like Valorant and League of Legends: Wild Rift.  Most recently, he served as CTO at Vela Games, where he had firsthand experience with i3D.net as a potential vendor; experience that proved valuable when he later joined the company. 

Rick Sloot transitions into Chief of Staff after leading as Interim CEO

Rick Sloot, Co-Founder of i3D.net, has been instrumental in building the company from the ground up, serving as COO for over two decades and most recently as interim CEO. During this transitional period, he strengthened i3D.net’s foundations and positioned the company for future growth. In his new role as Chief of Staff, Rick will work closely with Ivo on strategic initiatives, ensuring continuity while driving the next wave of innovation and scale.  

Over the past 20 years, i3D.net has evolved through several major shifts. Each time, we’ve leveled up. With Ivo at the helm, I’m excited for the next wave of growth, both within and beyond the gaming industry.
