Playson names Kusztos as first chief commercial officer

In the role, Kusztos will be responsible for overseeing Playson’s commercial strategy, which includes the expansion of its footprint into more regulated markets around the world.

Kusztos joins Playson after a spell as head of sales and account management at Kalamba Games.

Prior to this, had a spell as senior account manager at Quickspin and also spent over a year as head of customer relationship management at Rizk.com.

Kusztos also previously served as casino co-ordinator at Betsson, as well as both casino and poker manager and casino and poker coordinator at GoldBet.

“By maintaining the company’s customised approach and extending its reach even further, I look forward to helping Playson build on the significant milestones it has achieved to date,” Kusztos said.

Playson chief executive Alex Ivshin added: “Tamas Kusztos is an exemplary professional with an impressive track-record who we are delighted to welcome to the team and look forward to working with. 

“Our newly-created CCO role will help us provide an outstanding service with a personal touch, and Tamas has the right skills to do exactly that for a partnership network that is rapidly extending.” 

The appointment comes after Playson last week secured a manufacturer’s suitability licence from the Hellenic Gaming Commission in Greece.

The licence will enable Playson to supply its content to the newly regulated Greek market and sign agreements with licensed operators in the country.
