888 Holdings promotes Senior Vice President and Head of Human Resources, Naama Kushnir, to the role of Chief Operating Officer.

888 Holdings has promoted Senior Vice President (SVP) and Head of Human Resources, Naama Kushnir, to the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Kushnir has been with the company for eleven years, and had previously worked in human resources at Herbert Smith Freehills, the global law firm.

In her new role she will report directly to 888 Holdings’ CEO, Itai Pazner, and will work alongside the company’s other SVP’s to deliver its growth strategy, which focuses on expanding in global, regulated markets through production innovation, organic growth and value-enhancing M&As.

Pazner became CEO in January when Itai Frieberger stepped down after more than fourteen years with the company.

Speaking about her promotion, Kushnir said:

“I am hugely excited to be taking on this new role in 888’s Operational Management team. The group has made some exciting recent acquisitions, including adding a sportsbook to its proprietary technology stack for the first time.”

While Pazner added:

“Naama is a highly skilled, respected and experienced operator and I have every confidence that – alongside the rest of the Operational Management team – she will continue to drive 888’s growth and promote our company culture, vision and values in her new role.”

A week ago, AYO.NEWS reported that 888 Holdings’ 2018 financial results showed big drops in poker and bingo revenues but strong casino and sports figures (read more).
