ZEAL Network brings in former UK National Lottery executive as VP of games

Frankfurt-listed online lottery provider ZEAL Network has appointed Alex Green as vice president of games.

Green joins the German lottery provider after more than 20 years in various roles at the UK National Lottery, firstly with Camelot and then with the current National Lottery operator Allwyn.

Green is tasked with expanding ZEAL’s online casino games business after most recently serving as director of channel operations at the National Lottery.

“I am very much looking forward to assuming responsibility for ZEAL's online games business,” Green said of his new role.

“ZEAL has already achieved great success in the relatively short time since launching online games, and I look forward to working with the team to strategically grow revenues.”

Helmut Becker, chief executive of ZEAL, added: “Alex Green is a renowned industry expert with considerable experience and extensive knowledge in the lottery and online games environment.

“His function as an expert for online games in the lottery environment is exactly what we need to establish ourselves in the market in the medium and long term, and to grow our business sustainably. We are proud to have exactly the right candidate on board in Alex to help our games business achieve even stronger growth with a unique value proposition.”
