February 2nd, 2016 (London, UK): The Board of Directors of LVS Ltd is pleased to announce today the nomination of Jean Christophe as Chief Executive Officer.
FDJ Group, the owner of LVS, has commissioned its new CEO to deliver an enhanced sportsbook solution for more than 25,000 shops in France.
Jean said: “LVS has proved the high performance of its key product: the Advanced Betting Platform (ABP), a solution designed on recent, yet proven, technologies. Since 2010, LVS has turned ABP from a pure online betting platform into a future-proofed omni-channel platform.
“In 2015, Santa Casa da Misericordia de Lisboa launched land-based operations with thousands of shops in Portugal with ABP, and LVS is currently extending its online solution to an omni-channel one in Israel for the Israeli Sports Betting Board. With such a track record I trust that LVS will succeed in this new project for FDJ, its parent company.”
