Sazka Group has appointed Aleš Veselý as the new CEO. He will replace Robert Chvátal, who will become the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sazka and will continue to manage the parent group of Sazka Group.

Veselý has been working in Sazka since mid-2013 in the role of marketing director and for the last three years also in the position of deputy general director. He participated in the transformation of Sazka after it became its sole owner of the KKCG investment group of billionaire Karel Komárek.

“Over the last eight years, we have managed to build a modern and entertainment company from a traditional lottery company. Thanks to innovation and online transformation, we can offer a wide portfolio of games that appeals to three-quarters of the Czech Republic’s adult population. My main goal is to maintain, but above all further developed its long-term strategy of an entertainment company, “said Veselý. The company will decide on the new marketing director of Sazka in the coming weeks.
