FORMER 888.COM EXEC. RAN KASPI JOINS LUCKBOX AS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Isle of Man-based, TSX Venture Exchange-listed esports betting company, Luckbox, has appointed former 888.com executive Ran Kaspi as its new Chief Financial Officer. 

Kaspi previously served as CFO of ASX-listed ParaZero LTD, which develops drone safety solutions, and prior to that was Finance Director at Global-e, a European provider of cross-border E-commerce solutions. 

He also possess extensive experience in the online gaming industry, having spent almost six years at London Stock Exchange-listed 888.com, leading its economic and performance team. Kaspi holds an MBA in Finance from the Tel-Aviv University, along with a BA in Economics and Management, and is licensed by the Israeli Securities Authority.

Commenting on his appointment, Kaspi said:

“I’m very happy to join the team at what is a hugely exciting time for the business and the esports industry as a whole.

“A few years ago, I had the chance to provide CFO services to a startup within the esports domain and I was given a shot to learn about the great potential of this industry. 

“When the opportunity came, I thought that Luckbox has the potential to become a fantastic growth story in the future and its background, coupled with the public listing, were very appealing.”

While Luckbox CEO, Quentin Martin, added:

“I am delighted to formally welcome Ran to the team. His talent and experience are hugely relevant to our story and he will play a major role as we look to build on our phenomenal success in 2020 and our new life as a public company.”

Last month, Luckbox’s parent company, Real Luck Group Ltd, debuted on the TSX Venture Exchange in Toronto, Canada, under the ticker LUCK. At the time of writing, the share price had risen 75%. 

AYO.NEWS says:

Luckbox experienced blistering growth last year, as esports and esports betting thrived during the COVID-19 crisis, and the TSXV listing seems to have gone very well to say the least. Bringing on more high level executive talent like Kaspi is a fantastic start to 2021, and we’re looking forward to watching the company continue to grow.
