NYX Gaming appoints new COO and CFO
Arisocrat veteran Jason Walbridge joins as COO, while former board member Eric Matejevich hired to lead its financial team
NYX Gaming Group has appointed a new chief operating officer (COO) and chief financial officer (CFO) as the supplier strengthens its executive team following the acquisition of OpenBet.
The Toronto-listed firm has appointed Jason Walbridge, who joins from fellow gaming supplier Aristocrat, as COO, while Eric Matejevich will lead the company’s financial team.
Walbridge worked at Aristocrat in a number of Las Vegas-based roles for more than 18 years, most recently as chief supply officer.
Previously, he was also managing director of Aristocrat’s EMEA division as well as senior VP for R&D, integration and service, VP of operations business services manager.
Matt Davey, CEO of NYX Gaming Group, said he believed Walbridge would be a great addition to the company’s senior team. “Everything we do is focused on quality products with speed to market and deployment across all channels,” he said.
“As we continue to experience rapid growth we have appointed Jason Walbridge to drive the group operating strategy across our content, systems and business development divisions,” he added.
Walbridge is also joined by CEO Eric Matejevich, who was on the NYX Gaming board, having previously held roles at Atlantic Club Casino, Resorts International and Merrill Lynch.
Matejevich has now stood down from the board to focus full-time on his new CFO role.
“I join the Group with a deep understanding of the core strengths and capabilities of the business,” Matejevich said.
“NYX has built its multi-product, diversified business through high profile acquisitions and the recent Q2 results demonstrate that the industrial logic behind the acquisitions is already bearing fruit.”
