Sazka-owned Greek gambling operator OPAP has appointed Jan Karas as its chief executive on a full-time basis, following an interim spell in the role.
He will now take on the role permanently from 1 January and also become an executive member of the operator’s board of directors.
“Jan had been serving as OPAP’s acting CEO, contributing significantly to the company’s business initiatives and response to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and the impact of the relevant restrictive measures,” OPAP executive chairman Kamil Ziegler said.
“We are looking forward to continue working with him, in his new capacity, in order to implement OPAP’s strategic objectives and address the challenges related to the recovery from the pandemic crisis.”
