Novomatic Americas has announced a significant change in its management team, aimed at "reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable growth in the USA." CEO Alexander Merwald will be passing the torch to seasoned executives Sabine Stoppel and Jakob Rothwangl as part of the transition.
The newly formed Management Board team of Novomatic Americas now includes Sabine Stoppel, Jakob Rothwangl, and Len Busche.

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. In her expanded role, Stoppel will continue to build on her track record in the organization.
Rothwangl joins the leadership team as an experienced international expert, taking on an operational management role at Novomatic Americas Sales. Since 2021, Rothwangl has held a prominent position at Novomatic Americas Holdings, and he played a key role in establishing the sales organization during the company’s market entry into the USA more than a decade ago. "His broad expertise will be instrumental in driving the sales efforts forward," the company noted.

Former CEO Alexander Merwald will focus more on his responsibilities as CEO in South Africa, "allowing him to concentrate on the continuous growth and planned legal expansions of the gaming segments in that region."
"With these changes, Novomatic Americas is poised to tackle future challenges and pursue a successful path ahead with a strengthened management team and a clear strategic direction," the company concluded.
