Yolo Group subsidiary Bombay Group has appointed industry veteran Kevin McGowen as chief executive officer.
McGowen takes the reins at Bombay Group as the company prepares to open a new casino in its home city of Tallinn, Estonia, having spent more than a decade at London’s Les Ambassadeurs Casino, including the past eight years as CEO.
McGowen has also held senior roles at Crystal Palace Casino in the Bahamas, Mandalay Resort Group and American Casino & Entertainment Properties.
He assumes the role from Anita Brinke, who has served as interim chief executive since September 2023.
“The ultimate goal of my work of recent years has been to realise the unique vision of a destination that is totally worth a separate journey regardless of how much one has experienced in life,” said Brinke.
“Only a few weeks remain until the opening of The Burman, and in combination with the Bombay Club they will complete the redefining of modern high-quality entertainment. Now is a good time to pass the baton so that Kevin can give our crown jewel the final shine.”
McGowen said of his appointment: “Time has arrived to welcome all suitable discerning players from across the globe to experience our unparalleled gaming offerings.
“I’m hugely impressed by the Bombay team’s dedication to elevating standards in the high-end gaming industry from a product and compliance perspective. One of my goals for the near future is to engage even broader global experience in the team.”
Alongside the appointment of McGowen, the Bombay Group also confirmed the addition of Dajana Tiitsaar as the company’s chief operating officer.
