NYX Gaming Group has appointed Jason Walbridge as its new chief operating officer and Eric Matejevich as chief financial officer.

Walbridge, who joins the company after an 18-year spell with Aristocrat, will be tasked with driving group operating strategy across the firm’s content, systems and business development divisions.

Matejevich had been serving on the NYX board and in leadership positions at the Atlantic Club Casino, Resorts International and Merrill Lynch, but will now take on the position of chief financial officer on a full-time basis, heading up the NYX group finance division.

Matt Davey, chief executive of NYX, said: “Both of these appointments strengthen our execution capabilities and support the excellent foundations we have built to deliver world-class products and services to our customers in regulated markets.

“Eric and Jason join us at a very exciting period of growth and I'd like to welcome them both to the team.”

Davey added that the firm will look to make further appointments to its board in due course.

Speaking about his new role with NYX, Walbridge said: “Matt and the executive team have made important breakthroughs to establish a leading position in the supply of gaming content and technology in regulated markets.

“They have set the bar high with their vision and ambition and I'm looking forward to working with them to build out additional execution capabilities across their group operation.”

Matejevich added: “NYX has built its multi-product, diversified business through high profile acquisitions and the recent Q2 results demonstrate that the industrial logic behind the acquisitions is already bearing fruit.

“I look forward to working with Matt and the talented teams across the business to deliver the next phase of growth.”
