888 Holdings appoints Naama Kushnir as COO
888 Holdings has appointed its Senior Vice President (SVP) and Head of Human Resources, Naama Kushnir, as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the company.
Kushnir has been with the company for 11 years, and had previously worked in human resources at Herbert Smith Freehills, the global law firm.
She will be reporting directly to 888 Holdings’ CEO, Itai Pazner, and will work alongside the company’s other SVP’s to deliver its growth strategy, which focuses on expanding in global, regulated markets through production innovation, organic growth and value-enhancing M&As.
Speaking about her promotion, Kushnir said: “I am hugely excited to be taking on this new role in 888’s Operational Management team. The group has made some exciting recent acquisitions, including adding a sportsbook to its proprietary technology stack for the first time.”
While Pazner added: “Naama is a highly skilled, respected and experienced operator and I have every confidence that – alongside the rest of the Operational Management team – she will continue to drive 888’s growth and promote our company culture, vision and values in her new role.”
NOVOMATIC has appointed Robert van Roosendaal as its Key Account Director for Germany, BENELUX, Iceland, Portugal and France. Robert van Roosendaal is a gaming industry expert with many years of sales experience.
Robert van Roosendaal is now responsible for the distribution of the complete portfolio of casino products in Germany, Iceland, Portugal, the BENELUX countries and France. He reports into Jens Einhaus, VP International Sales, Europe and The Americas.
“With Robert van Roosendaal we have been able to assign this key position – especially in the German and French casino markets – to an expert with extensive sales experience as well as excellent market and product knowledge,” Jens Einhaus said.
Robert van Roosendaal joined NOVOMATIC AG in 2016. After a number of sales-related projects, he was most recently Senior Manager Global Sales for Emerging Markets. Prior to joining NOVOMATIC, he held senior sales positions with renowned manufacturers in the casino industry.
Star-Typ Sport (STS), the leader of the bookmaking market in Poland, has secured two nominations for the 2019 SBC Awards. The two nominations are for the categories “Sportsbook of the Year” and “Omni-channel Operator of the Year” (Sports and Casino).
SBC Awards are recognition of the achievements of operators and affiliates, as well as suppliers from all major categories, including payments, marketing, platform and data providers.
The award ceremony will take place on December 3 at Battersea Evolution in London.
Betsson AB has sold its entire stake in Global Gaming 555 because of the latter firm’s ongoing struggles in Sweden’s regulated market. The sale was reportedly done sometime in July, mere weeks after Betsson was revealed to have equally quietly acquired 726k shares (1.8%) of Global Gaming.
Betsson’s shares are up 4%, while Global Gaming’s shares tumbled 9.3%. Global Gaming’s share price is now less than one-fifth of what it was at the start of the year, reflecting the turmoil the company has endured in its biggest market.
In June, Sweden’s Spelinspektionen revoked Global Gaming’s online license due to alleged anti-money laundering and social responsibility shortcomings at the company’s Ninja Casino brand. The company’s efforts to appeal the revocation were rejected by Swedish courts.
