GLI Europe names new Technical Director

As Technical Director, he will oversee engineering in GLI Europe’s labs in The Netherlands and in Italy, along with GLI’s contribution with Verispect and the Justice Department for the Dutch market.

“We are delighted to have John join the GLI team. As a former product and R&D director, he brings a wealth of knowledge to our team and to our clients, both technically and commercially. That experience will benefit GLI’s European offices and our business strategy moving forward,” said GLI Europe Managing Director Phillip Barow.

With more than 20 years of experience in the gaming industry Van Schaijk most recently served as Director of Product Management for WMS Gaming in Spain. Previously, he was with Orion Gaming as Product Manager and as Product Development Manager. When WMS acquired Orion in 2006, Van Schaijk remained responsible for the Orion product line and developed and launched new platforms and themes for the company.

“The strategic decision to add van Schaijk to the GLI team will help GLI to continue to meet and exceed customers’ needs across Europe.  In light of the recent law changes opening VLT/server-based markets in Greece and Hungary, as well as the iGaming Markets in Spain, this is the perfect time to add John to our management team,” said GLI Europe Director of Operations Martin Britton.
