Nitisha Upadhye
@nitishaupadhye
Operations manager growing iGaming partnerships and SEO-driven performance with AI-optimized content workflows.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Operations Manager (Partnerships) with 5+ years in iGaming and crypto affiliates, and I was recently promoted from Crypto Content Strategist at Game Lounge. I take full operational ownership of a portfolio of iGaming affiliate sites across Sweden, Norway, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, and other tier-1 European markets, driving expansion through partnerships—currently with a well-known Swedish football website and app.
I focus on measurable outcomes (traffic, engagement, and commercial KPIs) while protecting quality and compliance in regulated markets. Previously, as a crypto casino affiliate content strategist, I grew affiliate clicks by 428%, generated 118 player registrations in a single month, and cut operational costs in half—while running SEO and content strategy across two projects. I also build AI tooling (custom GPTs, AI-assisted pipelines, and “vibecoding”) to speed up content production, and I ensure every output receives human editing and EEAT review before publishing.
