Yggdrasil Appoints Alex Haywood as Managing Director in Poland

Yggdrasil has appointed Alex Haywood as the Managing Director for its Polish division. Haywood, with over two decades of experience in igaming, is poised to drive Yggdrasil’s technological initiatives forward in this role.

In line with its ongoing business development strategy, Yggdrasil has undergone a restructuring. This has led to certain changes in roles within the company. Notably, Mark McGinley will transition from his current role as Chief Gaming Officer to assume the responsibilities of Chief Product Officer. In this new capacity, McGinley will oversee Yggdrasil’s igaming portfolio and its Masters Studio Programme.

With a firm focus on enhancing its igaming offerings, Yggdrasil continues to prioritize innovation and adaptability in its operations. The addition of Alex Haywood to their leadership team underscores the company’s commitment to maintaining its competitive edge in the igaming industry.

“I am thrilled to welcome Alex Haywood to the Yggdrasil team,” said James Curwen, CEO of Yggdrasil. “His impressive track record, from his key roles at Evolution Gaming, Interactive Gaming Group, to his most recent position at Liquid Barcodes, highlights his profound understanding of the gaming landscape and his unmatched ability to drive innovation and change. With his appointment, we are poised to reach even greater heights in innovation and technological prowess.”

“We extend our gratitude to our departing senior leaders for their dedication and commitment to Yggdrasil. As we navigate this transformative phase, we remain dedicated to supporting our employees through this period of change,” added Curwen.
