Jogo Global, a platform provider and casino content developer, has recruited Robb Vecchio as Managing Director of the company’s burgeoning US division.

The highly skilled business executive brings a wealth of experience to Jogo Global, having successfully delivered value, growth, and profitability for a wide range of technology and capital equipment businesses in a career spanning over 25 years.

In his new role, Vecchio will be responsible for establishing the Jogo Global brand across the US and securing new business opportunities for the wide range of bespoke and scalable casino solutions that the company develops.

The appointment of Vecchio further strengthens Jogo Global’s senior management team and follows the recent news that Cashcade and Gaming Realms co-founder Simon Collins has joined the organisation as its new chairman.
