Wazdan bolsters its executive team with hiring spree
The global slots supplier Wazdan has undertaken a major shuffle in its executive team, with a number of high-profile hires and promotions adding a wealth of experience to the provider’s workforce.
On a senior level, Tomasz Tajeldin has been brought in as a senior CRM specialist, Lukasz Kasprzyk has joined as Head of Operations, while Andrzej Hyla has been promoted to Chief Commercial Officer.
In his new role, Tajeldin will be responsible for driving Wazdan’s campaigns and planning strategy across game rollouts, bringing more than six years of iGaming experience to the supplier. Tajeldin will also take control of Wazdan’s promotional activity, centred around the supplier’s Cash Drop promotional tool.
Kasprzyk has more than seven years’ experience and will form a vital pillar in Wazdan’s CRM and Data Analysis departments, developing an engaging, customer-centric approach, while also enhancing the company’s data analysis capabilities. He will also lead Wazdan’s Account Manager team.
Like many other team members, Hyla has been working for Wazdan since the very beginning, having impressive 12 years of experience in the business. Now, his internal promotion sees him become responsible for key commercial growth in major targeted regulated markets across the globe as Wazdan looks to continue to expand its footprint.
Wazdan’s appointments have not only been limited to the executive level, with the supplier enlarging its presence globally with 39 new hires last year across all aspects of the company, including graphic designers, animators, and game developers, as well as boosting the sales and marketing teams.
Justyna Flajszer, HR Manager at Z Management, who is responsible for recruitment at Wazdan, said: “While last year presented its challenges, Wazdan continued to dynamically grow its global presence and added 39 new hires to the team during 2020. With both the senior leadership and company growing consistently, it is a very exciting time for Wazdan and we eagerly look forward to many more successes in 2021.”
Kasprzyk commented: “It is a unique moment in Wazdan history, with the company achieving great progress to date but with so many more opportunities to come. It’s great to be part of a team that is so dedicated and ambitious.” Tajeldin added: “Joining such a well-known brand is very exciting and it is fantastic to work with talented and experienced people on a daily basis.”
Hyla stated: “The past 12 months saw us achieve plenty and I can’t wait to be more involved than ever before in taking the company to new heights. There’s lots to come from Wazdan and it’s a journey we can’t wait to continue.”

Vera & John International goes live with Cubeia Originals Studio games
Sweden-based supplier Cubeia integrates its proprietary, brandable Originals content into the operator’s offering.
Vera & John International has gone live with Cubeia’s Originals Studio games, integrating the Sweden-based supplier’s proprietary titles into its player offering.
Cubeia said the launch gives the operator access to fully brandable in-house games aimed at supporting engagement and retention. The supplier positioned the Originals portfolio around “provably fair mechanics, gamification elements, and community-driven gameplay,” and said it includes crash and instant-win formats.
Tobias Fogelberg, Chief Commercial Officer at Cubeia, said: “We’re proud to see Vera & John International go live with our Originals. This is exactly what we’ve been building towards—giving operators something that feels truly their own, not just another catalogue of the same games everyone else has.
“The flexibility and branding possibilities are a big part of it, but it’s also about creating games that players actually want to come back to. That’s where Originals make a real difference.”
Cubeia also linked the rollout to its wider product stack, including its Cubeia Nano platform, which it said is designed to give operators “full control” and scalability. The company added it will continue investing in Originals Studio and plans to expand the portfolio with additional titles and features.
