Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) EMEIA Announces Leadership Changes
Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has announced two leadership changes for GLI EMEIA that will further solidify GLI’s external regulatory relations and internal operations.
Devon Dalbock has ascended to a broader external role of VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs, where he will be focused on working closely with regulators and government officials across the EMEIA region with existing and emerging jurisdictions, offering GLI’s unsurpassed advisory services and training.
Dalbock has been with GLI since 2016, first serving as General Manager of GLI Africa, where he successfully expanded the operation while developing and maintaining relationships with clients and regulators across Africa and India. He regularly presented at conferences within Africa and India, leading to several African jurisdictions working with GLI to evaluate their regulatory frameworks and Technical Standards. He moved to the Netherlands in 2023 to head up GLI’s EMEIA business operations and was instrumental in the integration of SIQ and iTech Labs into GLI while continuing his relationships in the EMEIA region.
Harinder Grewal will transfer from his current role as Director of Engineering to VP of Operations, EMEIA, where he will oversee GLI EMEIA’s internal operations and delivery across the region. Grewal has been with GLI since 2006. During his role as Director of Engineering, he was instrumental in increasing GLI’s delivery capability in the Netherlands and played a key role in the expansion of the delivery teams in GLI India. GLI has more than 830 employees in the EMEIA region and continues to grow monthly to meet the demand for GLI’s services.
“The gaming world continues to evolve rapidly, leaving many regulators in a position of having to move and react extremely quickly to developments in their jurisdictions on multiple fronts, including iGaming, sports betting, AI, AML, and more. Additionally, there are many new and emerging gambling markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Devon and Harinder have the perfect combination of world-class regulator and technical expertise to lead GLI EMEIA and to help regulators in jurisdictions of all sizes safely and successfully, embracing the new world of gaming,” said GLI EMEIA Managing Director James Boje.
