Spectrum Gaming Group has appointed Julian Graves to the newly created position of non-executive chairman, a strategic move to help guide Spectrum through a period of significant change in the global gaming industry.
The appointment comes as Spectrum expands worldwide and into emerging sectors, including internet gaming, sports betting and the convergence of lotteries and casinos. Graves will support the Spectrum management team’s effort to deliver and further that expansion, while ensuring that Spectrum maintains its global leadership position in core services, including regulatory consulting, anti-money-laundering controls, economic-impact studies, and feasibility studies.
Graves, a former managing director of Clarion Events gaming and consumer divisions who is based in London, has decades of experience in various industries, has sold, acquired and restructured assets and led businesses to navigate growth and expansion.
