Ezugi has promoted from within, hand-picking Gilad Ben-Ami, the company’s COO since 2017, as its new boss. Ben-Ami announced the important change in a LinkedIn post and spoke highly of the opportunity to assume the new position.
Ezugi welcomes a seasoned insider as its new CEO
In a personal post, he said that he never imagined himself spearheading Ezugi personally after eight years with the company.
Originally, he was tasked with growing the company’s footprint in Romania, but over the years, he began transferring his experience to other company operations and secured a forward position for the operator in other markets.
„Fast forward to today, it has been an amazing journey to be part of, and I would like to thank all my colleagues - past and present - who contributed to our success. Ezugi now counts hundreds of employees across regions and continents, and is part of the world’s leading provider of iGaming content," Ben-Ami said.
Ben-Ami also thanked his longtime friend and manager, Kfir Kugler, who has helped mentor him and equipped him with the skills necessary to excel in any position, including his most recent taking over the reins at the helm of the company.
For the past eight years and four months, Ben-Ami has been an indelible part of the company’s operations, helping it build momentum in not just regional markets but also expand far beyond that.
Ben-Ami has ample experience working at other companies as well. He served as CTO at EasyCrypt, a privacy startup focusing on encrypted communications, and he also worked with Gamesmart.
