With decades of gaming industry experience between them, Thomas Niehenke and Rolf Falke are launching a new consultancy company, Solutions4Gaming, writes David Snook.
A NEW and unique business in specialised gaming industry consultancy has been launched by two former very senior management personalities at the Gauselmann Group in Germany.
Solutions4Gaming has been set up to service the international gaming community by Thomas Niehenke and Rolf Falke from a base in Germany, but with a global passport.
Niehenke was until recently number two at the Gauselmann Group, holding the responsibility for the entire operational business of the giant corporation as chief operating officer. Falke has a distinguished record within Gauslemann’s Merkur Casino subsidiary, which saw him multiply the number of locations in its portfolio.
Between them, they have over 35 years of in-depth specialised experience in all aspects of the gambling industry. Their departure from the Gauselmann Group in 2014 was co-incidental and entirely cordial with their former company. “We retain huge respect for the group,” said Thomas Niehenke, “but for I think both of us, it was time to take up a new challenge.” Aware of each other’s personal skills in gaming, they decided to set up the industry’s first specialised consultancy for many aspects of the creation, maintenance and running of gaming businesses. “There are plenty of people out there who can organise finance; plenty more who can design an arcade; others who can offer crisis management – but I know of no-one who can do all of those things from under the same roof,” said Falke.
