Yolo Group has appointed Lara Falzon as chief executive officer of its B2B brands, a move that underpins the company’s commitment to sustained global growth.

Falzon is the second high-profile C-suite hire for Yolo Group in 2025, following the appointment of Jean Claude Magri as chief financial officer in January.

The company seeks to scale in online casino and sports betting verticals with significant investment in new technology and partnerships.

Jose Micallef, CEO at Yolo Group Middle East, said: “Lara brings exceptional industry insight gained over many years, along with a track record of delivering impressive results. I am delighted to hand over the baton to such a strong leader.

“Lara’s leadership is exactly what is needed for Yolo Group’s continued successful expansion and will ensure the delivery of next-generation solutions that fuel the success of our partners.”
