Damian Cope steps down as OPAP CEO:

Damian Cope, OPAP’s CEO, will step down from his position at the end of May 2020, when his four year term expires. Damian will continue to support OPAP as an Adviser to the Board and will also be working with SAZKA Group on development of further international opportunities.

Damian Cope commented: “Family commitments bring me back to the UK but I am delighted to stay involved with the company in the capacity of Advisor to the Board. Meanwhile, I am also excited to support SAZKA Group as they explore opportunities.“

Robert Chvatal, SAZKA Group’s CEO, reflected on Damian’s time at OPAP: “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Damian. He has played a vital role in the modernisation of OPAP’s business and its strategy. During his tenure, Damian oversaw a huge rollout of VLTs and SSBTs across our retail network, which have proven to be a phenomenal success. While doing so, Damian built a high-performance management team that OPAP will benefit from for years to come. I speak on behalf of everyone at SAZKA Group when I thank Damian for the influential contributions he has made as CEO of OPAP.”

The Board of OPAP jointly with Damian Cope have started the succession planning process to identify internal and external candidates for the CEO position. The Board has retained a leading international executive search firm to assist in this process.
