Stoiximan has appointed Kaizen Gaming commercial director Nikos Fligos as its new managing director to head up the Greece- and Cyprus-facing brand.
Fligos shifts over from Kaizen Gaming, which operates the Stoiximan brand on behalf of majority owner OPAP, where he was a commercial director for two years and three months, having joined in September 2022.
Prior to joining Kaizen Gaming, Fligos was CEO of Greek convenience store chain Kiosky Group from March 2021 to April 2022.
Fligos also spent just under 11 years with Philip Morris International in several roles.
Initially joining in June 2010 as manager of business development and planning, he later became country manager of Cyprus and Malta, then regional commercial manager of Greece before finally ending up as director of commercial operations.
The new Stoiximan managing director also previously worked for Diageo and Coca-Cola.
Confirming his new role on LinkedIn, Fligos said: “I’m immensely proud and excited to share my appointment as the new managing director of Stoiximan, a brand I truly admire not only for its success story so far, but also for its exciting perspective ahead.
“I am confident we will continue to create value and growth with even sharper focus on customer experience and responsible gaming.
“Great things only happen through strong teams and partnerships and, as such, I look forward to working closely with each one of our Stoiximan people and our Stoiximan partners.
“Together, we will build on our strong foundation, Kaizen Gaming, and explore new opportunities for growth and success. We will continue shaping the future of gaming and entertainment in Greece and Cyprus, while staying true to our core values,” he added.
Kaizen Gaming was recently named operator of the year at the EGR Operator Awards 2024. Alongside the headline prize, the operator also took home six other titles on the night.
