BMM Testlabs said Marzia Turrini, Global President, iGaming & Cybersecurity, has won the ‘Best Executive Leadership’ award at the 2026 Italian Gaming Awards. The company said the award was presented last week during the Italian Gaming Expo & Conference (IGE) in Rome.

According to BMM, Turrini was selected from a shortlist of eight other industry executives. The company said the award recognizes her leadership and her role in growing BMM’s digital product compliance and cybersecurity services across regulated markets.

BMM said its digital services business gained momentum in 2025, growing nearly three times faster than the overall iGaming and sports betting market. The company also said Turrini led the expansion of BMM’s iGaming Center of Excellence in Barcelona to more than 120 professionals supporting compliance testing, cybersecurity services, and quality assurance.

Turrini said, “I am honored to receive this recognition from the Italian Gaming Awards. Italy has always been an important part of my professional journey, and I am proud to contribute to the continued growth and integrity of the regulated gaming industry both in Italy and around the world.”

BMM also noted previous recognition for Turrini, including ‘Leader of the Year’ at the 2025 SBC Awards Americas and inclusion in the iGB 2025 ‘Most Influential Women in Gaming’. BMM has an office in Bologna and said it tests and certifies regulated gaming products in Italy across land-based AWP and VLT machines and systems, retail sports betting and horse racing systems, lotteries and instant gaming, and online casino and sports betting technologies.
