Kaizen Gaming has named former National Bank of Greece exec Vassilis Gavroglou as the global operator’s new chief human resources officer (CHRO).
Gavroglou will be responsible for overseeing the people strategy for more than 2,700 employees across 19 countries.
The exec joins the Betano parent company from Sunlight Group, where he served as CHRO since November 2019.
He moved to the solar energy business after a stint as HR executive director for Greek telecoms firm OTE.
The former Boston Consulting Group consultant also had an eight-year spell with the National Bank of Greece across HR and CEO support positions.
The operator said Gavroglou would help shape the HR strategy for the business during a “period of dynamic growth and expansion of the company’s global footprint”.
His appointment comes after Kaizen Gaming’s chief people officer Stella Voulgaraki departed the company in the summer.
Voulgaraki originally arrived in March 2022 and helped oversee a rapid period of headcount growth in her time in the role.
On his move to Kaizen Gaming, Gavroglou said: “The rapid expansion of the company into new markets creates a unique opportunity to build on a culture that invests in the development of its people and continues to attract the best in a rapidly changing technological backdrop.
“Further strengthening the high levels of people engagement, talent development and the digitalisation of HR operations are key to supporting Kaizen Gaming’s vision for sustainable innovation and global growth.”
George Daskalakis, Kaizen Gaming CEO, added: “People have always been at the heart of our company, and we know that long-term success starts with taking care of our own.
“In less than a decade, Kaizen Gaming has grown from just a few dozen people in Greece to a thousands-strong international brigade, while maintaining strong growth every year.
“This rapid expansion brings both opportunities and challenges, especially as we keep a firm eye on preserving and strengthening our people-first culture across our global footprint.
“With Vassilis joining as CHRO, a leader with deep expertise in transformation and talent development, I am confident we will enhance our people strategy and further support our international growth ambitions.”
