Jul 27 - New Hire For Lottoland

Ocean Village-based Lottoland has appointed Elicia Bravo Garcia, as the Chief Strategy Officer of the online lottery betting leader.

Upon completing an MBA at INSEAD Elicia is returning to her hometown Gibraltar to join Lottoland as Chief Strategy Officer. Elicia joins Lottoland at a time of unprecedented growth. She will play a leading role in developing, communicating, executing and sustaining strategic initiatives across the business, including corporate governance matters.

Lottoland, which specialise in offering customers the chance to win the world’s biggest lottery jackpots, arrived in Gibraltar just over three years ago and so far has enjoyed huge success, attracting nearly four million players in this short period of time.

The local appointment reaffirms Lottoland’s decision to stay in Gibraltar following Britain’s referendum vote to leave the European Union in June.

Elicia said: “I am very happy and extremely excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this exceptional team. I look forward to helping Lottoland continue growing its business at such an unprecedented pace while also helping raise its profile and that of Gibraltar internationally.”

Lottoland CEO, Nigel Birrell, has previously stated: “The referendum result does not change our firm commitment to staying here... Our business is thriving and the benefits of staying in Gibraltar remain very strong indeed.”

Regarding the appointment of Elicia - who has a BA in law from Oxford University and over seven years of international finance legal experience as a UK and NY lawyer - Nigel said: “We are delighted to bring Elicia on-board at what is the most exciting juncture in the relatively short history of our company.

“Elicia’s legal background will place Lottoland in a great position to deal with all compliance and regulatory matters surrounding the business.

“This, coupled with her financing, strategic and M&A expertise, means Elicia will be of immense importance as we continue to rapidly grow our company.”

Lottoland offers its players the opportunity to bet on the world’s biggest jackpots for the same prizes, including the jackpot.

There’s an extensive portfolio of draws available to bet on including EuroMillions, US MegaMillions, US PowerBall, Spain’s El Gordo, five draws from Australia, Irish Lotto and a host of other lotteries from across Europe and beyond.
