US.- The gambling harm prevention consultancy, EPIC Risk Management has named Teresa Fiore as VP of partnerships as it expands in North America.

CEO Paul Buck said: “This appointment is a key marker of the expansion that EPIC continues to make within the US. We’re delighted to bring Teresa’s extensive knowledge and vital experience into our organization and value the perspective that she can bring from both a regulatory and industry angle.”

Fiore commented: “I’m very excited to start as the VP of partnerships, overseeing the growth in the US market, which is obviously a huge opportunity for EPIC.
