After playing a key role in NeoGames’ growth and its acquisition by Aristocrat Leisure, Motti Gil has departed from his position as CFO. His exit concludes a significant period following NeoGames’ integration into Aristocrat’s Interactive division.
Gil’s Journey Through NeoGames and Aspire Global
Gil’s tenure at NeoGames began in August 2023, following the company’s acquisition of Aspire Global, where he had served as CFO since 2016.
At Aspire, Gil played a crucial role in guiding the company through key mergers and acquisitions, including the integration of aggregator and content provider Pariplay, as well as sportsbook and technology supplier BtoBet.
