CEO Alexander Merwald will be passing the torch to seasoned industry experts Sabine Stoppel and Jakob Rothwangl.
Ms. Sabine Stoppel, who has been a vital member of the Management Board of NOVOMATIC Americas Holdings and NOVOMATIC Americas for over 1.5 years, brings over 35 years of extensive experience within the NOVOMATIC AG Group.
