Games Global confirms new leadership team

The content supplier has appointed several industry veterans to lead its team.

Isle of Man.- The new content supplier Games Global has made a number of senior appointments, bringing in veterans from the sector.

Leila Goelz, formerly of Stars Group, has been named chief people and transformation officer, while Theo Naicker joins the Isle of Man-registered company as chief operating officer. Naicker spent more than 20 years with software development house Derivco.

Meanwhile, Julie Allison, who has worked at Paddy Power Betfair, Red Tiger and NetEnt, has been appointed chief revenue officer and former Microgaming director of compliance Kimberley Broad has been named chief compliance officer.

The new appointments join chief executive Walter Bugno, who was executive vice president of new business and strategic initiatives at IGT until May, and chief financial officer Tim Mickley.

Games Global aims to expand in the development and distribution of content in regulated markets internationally.

Last month, it agreed to acquire Quickfire from Microgaming in a deal due to close in Q2 of 2022. After closure, Games Global will have the international distribution rights for Quickfire’s gaming portfolio and jackpot network.

Bugno said: “I am incredibly proud to be at the helm of Games Global with such a strong and growth-focused leadership team. We are deeply committed to expansion and delivering second-to-none products and services to our customers and, ultimately, their players. 

“We are looking forward to 2022 with great anticipation, entering the new year with a fantastic team, exceptional offering and growing business.”
