Novomatic’s interactive solutions subsidiary Betware has appointed former GTECH regional vice-president Frank Cecchini as its new chief commercial officer.
Cecchini will lead Betware’s commercial team and take responsibility for its sales, marketing and account management strategy.
Cecchini joins Betware shortly after setting up his own consultancy business in December last year, following his departure from GTECH after spending 14 years at the interactive gaming software and service provider.
During his time at GTECH, Cecchini served as an account development manager until 2010 before becoming regional vice-president for Central Europe.
Prior to joining GTECH, he held the role of general manager at Olympus UK where he managed the EMEA region operations.
“I am convinced that the strength of Novomatic, combined with the innovative DNA of Betware will deliver new solutions and opportunities that will add tremendous value to the lottery market,” Cecchini said.
Stefan Hrafnkelsson, chief executive officer of Betware, added: “We are delighted that Frank Cecchini has joined our team and are convinced that his tremendous lottery market experience, communication and innovation skills will greatly enhance Betware’s market expansion plans.
“Frank joins us at a very exciting time; after finalising the acquisition process, together with our new owners Novomatic AG, Betware now focuses on a complete 360 degree solution for lotteries.”
