Zoltán Guller Appointed New CEO of Szerencsejáték Zrt
Hungary’s Ministry of National Economy has confirmed the appointment of Zoltán Guller as the new Chief Executive Officer of Szerencsejáték Zrt, the country’s state-run sports betting and lottery operator. Guller replaces Andrea Mager in the role following a significant shift in oversight of the company.
Leadership Transition at Szerencsejáték Zrt
Zoltán Guller is set to succeed Andrea Mager, who stepped down following recent structural changes within Hungary’s government. The transition comes as the management of Szerencsejáték Zrt moves under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Economy, which is now headed by newly appointed secretary Márton Nagy.
Governmental Reshuffle Impacts Gaming Sector
The management restructuring follows broader cabinet changes, transferring oversight responsibilities of Szerencsejáték Zrt away from the National Concession Office to the Ministry of National Economy. This strategic move aligns the lottery and sports betting monopoly more closely with economic policy directives.
Official Endorsement of Guller’s Appointment
Secretary Márton Nagy officially announced Guller’s appointment, emphasizing the strategic importance of his new role:
“The Minister of National Economy expects Zoltán Guller to ensure the 21st-century-level fulfilment of the Hungarian population’s gaming experience needs, enhance customer experience, and create social value through cost-effective management and continuous product and service development.”
Guller succeeds Andrea Mager, who previously held the position and oversaw the company during its period under the National Concession Office. Mager’s departure aligns with the recent realignment within the Hungarian government’s regulatory framework for state-controlled entities.
