The trusted and reliable iGaming supplier, Playson, announced a new senior-level appointment.
On Wednesday, the company confirmed it selected Ben Wood, an executive with more than 15 years of experience in the gaming sector, to the strategic role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
Appointment comes at a time when Playson plans further growth on a global scale
The appointment of the former Bally's Interactive executive comes at a time when Playson's CCO, Tamas Kusztos, decided to step down from his role at the company.
Playson confirmed that the outgoing CCO departs from the company in order to pursue "new personal goals."
Not unexpectedly, Kusztos will continue to collaborate with the company and ensure the smooth transition of responsibilities to Wood, who succeeds him in the role of CCO.
This collaboration is to ensure that the new CCO aligns with Playson's long-term growth plans.
Alex Ivshin, Playson's Strategic Advisor, spoke with excitement about the appointment of the new CCO, Casino Guru News learned from a press release.
"Ben's appointment marks an important step in Playson's journey to solidify its standing among the top five suppliers globally," the executive said.
Moreover, Ivshin pointed out: "His expertise in regulated markets — particularly the UK, Spain, and Ontario — will help us amplify our reach and deliver even greater value to partners."
Wood was similarly delighted and outlined that Playson has a strong reputation for its creativity, quality and reliability in the online gambling sector.
"Their must-have content has stamped their own indelible mark in established and new markets alike," Playson's new CCO added.
Finally, Wood said: "I'm thrilled to join the team at such an exciting time and look forward to contributing to the company's continued growth across Europe and globally."
The new CCO has a track record and solid experience
Overall, Wood has more than 15 years of experience in the online gambling sector.
Throughout his professional career, he accumulated significant knowledge in content delivery, partnership management and commercial strategies.
Moreover, Wood has a track record in helping companies grow in regulated markets.
Before assuming the role of CCO at Playson, Wood offered commercial consulting services to Blueprint Gaming.
Earlier in his career, he was part of the C-suite at Bally's Interactive.
Wood was also employed by Microgaming for more than a decade, where he held a number of senior-level commercial leadership roles.
In October, Playson expanded its presence in Ontario via an alliance with High Flyer Casino.
