In what represents a corporate shift, 888 Holdings has appointed Itai Frieberger as its new CEO. Stepping up from his current COO position, which he has only held since May 2015, the promotion certainly represents fast progress for Mr. Frieberger. This shift has made media newswires headlines, but it isn’t the only change to have occurred during the 888 Holdings corporate reshuffle.

Lauding the decision as “excellent” and “a step in the right direction”, it his belief that Mr. Frieberger will bring “unique market insight and experience” to the position. Many within the world of gambling felt that 888 Holdings were in need of switch-up, with most looking forward to see how Mr. Frieberger leads 888 Holdings into the next chapter of its long-term development.
