Intralot hires Lads Coral omni-channel director
Nicklas Zajdel to lead new digital division at the Athens-headquartered operator
Intralot has hired Ladbrokes Coral’s omni-channel director Nicklas Zajdel as its new group chief digital officer.
Zajdel, who started last month, leads a new digital division and is responsible for the company’s sportsbook and trading operations, its core digital platforms, and online operations.
Intralot said in a statement: “In Nicklas’ new position he will work to attract experienced industry talent for the digital division, create a portfolio of best-in-class digital operational services, and contribute to the development of next-generation products.”
Zajdel was also previously MD of Ladbrokes’ digital business and prior to that spent three years at Playtech.
Intralot deputy CEO Nikos Nikolakopoulos said Zajdel’s appointment would “particularly enhance” the firm’s ability to tap into the US sports betting market.
The provider has secured a deal to be the exclusive betting provider in Washington DC.
Intralot also announced the internal promotion of Maria Stergiou to group COO, effective April 15.
