Mardy Media is led by Roberto Romanello, a world-class professional poker player whose journey from local games in Swansea to the global stage reflects the same ambition, discipline, and strategic thinking that define the company today.
Born and raised in Swansea, Wales, Roberto discovered poker after a football injury left him sidelined for several months, unable to work in his family’s restaurants. What began as a way to pass the time quickly evolved into a career at the highest level of the game.
Over the years, Roberto has earned more than $5,000,000 in live tournament winnings and secured his place among poker’s elite by achieving the prestigious Triple Crown—winning titles on the World Poker Tour, European Poker Tour, and the World Series of Poker. This rare accomplishment places him among a handful of players worldwide.
Renowned for his composure under pressure, adaptability, and long-term strategic mindset, Roberto has translated the same principles that brought him success in poker into the foundation of Mardy Media. His experience competing at the highest level informs the company’s approach—focused, data-driven, and built to perform in competitive environments.
