“We made the decision to create a separate management board position here due to the continually increasing importance of internet gaming in society and also within the company,” explained chairman Paul Gauselmann.

This is a business segment for the future, although new media can never replace terrestrial gaming in arcades and pubs and restaurants, he said.

“We are very pleased that we have been able to gain a proven expert for our company in Mr Martin. His ideas and driving force will complement the management board in as many areas as possible, making these even more future-proof with his energetic contribution,” he added.

Martin graduated in computer science and was previously active as management consultant at A T Kearny in Düsseldorf, a leading management consultancy firm.
