Intralot US chief executive steps down
Tom Little to be replaced on interim basis by group COO but parent company reaffirms âstrong commitmentâ to the US
Intralotâs US arm has announced a major change of leadership this morning with CEO Tom Little stepping down to become non-executive chairman of the board until his upcoming retirement.
Little will be replaced by an interim CEO in the form of Nikos Nikolakopoulos who is currently the COO of parent company Intralot Group.
Little has been the CEO of Intralot US since its inception in 2002, following a 25-year career at Scientific Games.
Intralot said Nikolakopoulos would help âensure the continuity of our services and full alignment of our offering upgrade with our global strategiesâ while it looked for a permanent replacement.
Group CEO Antonios Kerastaris added: âI would like to thank Mr. Little for his contribution to the launch and growth of Intralotâs US activities.
âI would also like to take this opportunity to reconfirm our strong commitment to the US market as an area of key strategic focus and main source of future growth for our Group.
âWe are excited to dedicate more resources and launch new products and services, as part of our evolving portfolio to meet new consumer demands, mainly in the retail area, and help our valued US clients fulfill their own growth targets.â
Intralot has around 15 contracts in place with US lotteries.
