Malta-based tier-1 technology software and services supplier EveryMatrix recently hired former Croatian Lottery Executive Director Nikolina Gabelica as head of lottery. Gabelica will oversee commercial and product strategy for World Lottery and European Lottery Association businesses worldwide, building on EveryMatrix’s successful projects for the Hungarian National Lottery and Veikkaus.
Gabelica served more than 20 years in senior roles at the Croatian Lottery, Hrvatska Lutrija, including head of iGaming, deputy director of lottery games, online & betting and most recently as director of business development & marketing. She also was executive chair of the working group for marketing & communications at European Lotteries.
EveryMatrix Group Chief Executive Officer Ebbe Groes said, “Nikolina is hugely respected in the lottery world with vast experience in the retail and digital requirements lotteries have today. These businesses are having to continually adapt to new technologies and cater to a new generation of customers who are looking for instant entertainment across both classic lottery and online-mobile products. We work with some of the most progressive WLA-members today with a proven track record of delivering game-changing technologies that are taking these organizations to new heights. I’d like to wish Niki well as we strive to expand our reach even further in the lottery space.”
Gabelica added, “I’m grateful for the warm welcome extended by the fantastic team here. My 20-plus years of lottery and gaming experience fits perfectly with EveryMatrix, offering a diverse perspective that I will use to focus on strategies for both existing and new WLA member organizations and lottery clients. EveryMatrix’s modular, API-driven solutions are ideal for global lotteries looking to launch or expand their digital presence and I’m looking forward to meeting customers at ICE 2024.”
