Casinos Austria AG has appointed Erwin Van Lambaart as its new General Director, with the Holland Casino CEO replacing Bettina Glatz-Kremsner.

Van Lambaart will join the Board of Directors on 14 March 2022, before taking over Glatz-Kremsner’s position as General Director on 1 April, with his new employer describing the appointment as ‘the conclusion of a transparent search’.

The state-owned casino operator further detailed that the search for candidates had been conducted in cooperation with personal consultants Spencer Stuart, and in accordance with ‘international standards’ over a period of a ‘few months’.

A recruitment process for a new General Director was initiated after Glatz-Kremsner confirmed in March of this year that she would not extend her contract, due to expire in 2022, citing ‘personal reasons’.
