Novomatic Netherlands has announced a significant change in its leadership with the appointment of Dr. Alexander Legat as the new CEO. This move is part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at enhancing the company’s position in the Dutch market.
Dr. Alexander Legat, a seasoned legal expert with extensive corporate experience, succeeds Zane Mersich, who will transition to the Supervisory Board. Legat’s appointment is expected to leverage his legal and industry expertise to drive Novomatic Netherlands’ growth and meet future challenges in the dynamic Dutch market.
The restructuring also includes the appointment of Dr. Julia Schachter as the new Head of Group Legal, further solidifying the company’s legal and operational capabilities.
Established in 2013 and based in Waalwijk, Novomatic Netherlands currently employs over 350 people. The subsidiary manages 21 electronic casinos and operates gaming terminals in 1,600 facilities across the Netherlands.
The new management team at Novomatic Netherlands will now be comprised of:
- Alexander Legat – CEO;
- Robert Meijer;
- Reinier Schutte;
- Karin den Dunnen – CFO;
Commenting on Legat’s appointment, the Executive Board of the Novomatic AG Group stated: “With Dr. Alexander Legat, Novomatic Netherlands is gaining a first-rate legal expert who not only knows the Group extremely well, but has also already worked closely with the national subsidiaries. His appointment is an important step in our work to successfully meet the future challenges in the Dutch market and further expand our position.”
Legat himself added: “I am grateful for the new operational role in the dynamic Dutch market and look forward to working with the local team and the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Earlier this year, Novomatic also appointed Stefan Krenn to the Executive Board, further strengthening the company’s leadership and strategic direction.
