New operating structure 

Villatte’s appointment follows a few months after Stillfront’s decision to split its operations into three business areas as it looks to raise revenue and profitability. 

Those divisions include Europe, North America, and MENA/APAC, each of which is reported as a separate segment. 

“I am excited to join Stillfront as Group CFO," said Villatte. “Stillfront has had an impressive journey and has taken a strong position in the global gaming market,” said Villatte.

“I look forward to contributing my experience in financial and operational leadership to continue the company's strategic development and to support the talented team at Stillfront to deliver great player experiences and shareholder value.”
