Management restructure at Playtech BGT Sports 

Playtech BGT Sports (PBS) has undergone a management restructure with the promotion of John Pettit as chief commercial officer.

Pettit, who has been managing director of the UK, Ireland, and Australia, since he joined the provider from Ladbrokes at the end of 2015, will combine his existing role with the management of all customer activities around the world.

As part of a management re-structure designed to support PBS’ plans to enter more regulated markets, a management team with three new territory managing directors will work under him.

Lee Drabwell will be responsible for the UK, Ireland, and Belgium.  Costas Papadopoulos will manage Greece, Cyprus, and Africa.  Riccardo Cavallaro will oversee the remaining territories in Europe alongside Latin America.

Other key executive roles see Hamish Davidson remain managing director of PBS’s operations in Australia, and Gregor Errath promoted from commercial director to sales director. Errath will be responsible for sales and business development in all territories, working with the local MDs.

Playtech BGT Sports CEO Dr Armin Sageder:

“We have some very ambitious plans to grow our business in existing countries and in a host of both regulated, and soon to be regulated, markets around the world.

“I’m sure John and his team will be very well-positioned to help us do that and we look forward to the next stage in our development, introducing great new products and welcoming new customers on board.”

John Pettit added:

“It is a very exciting time for Playtech BGT Sports and I am delighted to be heading the team which will help us expand and our customers generate even stronger revenues.”
