Gaming company Amaya Gaming has confirmed a number of senior management changes at Rational Group, the firm’s subsidiary operation and managing company of the PokerStars and Full Tilt online gambling brands.
Israel Rosenthal has been named as Rational’s new chief operating officer, while Gino Appiotti will take on the role of chief marketing officer.
Amaya noted that the changes were undertaken following a management review of the operation.
Rosenthal, who served in various operations oversight roles at Rational prior to his appointment to the new position, will replace Rafi Ashkenazi.
Ashkenazi recently moved to a new role within the wider Amaya Gaming operation.
Meanwhile, Appiotti, who served for three years as president of Southern European for Rational, has been brought in to replace Alex Payne.
Payne recently opted to step down from the position of chief marketing officer at Rational in order to take up a similar role at the European branch of online marketplace eBay.
Appiotti will continue to work from the Rational Group office in Malta, while Rosenthal will head up group operations from the firm’s headquarters in the Isle of Man.
