‘Exciting times ahead’ – Joseph Attard joins Entain as Managing Director

Joseph Attard bid farewell to the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) to join betting company Entain as Managing Director.

Mr Attard had joined MGA as an Executive Assistant to the COO in April 2015. Over the proceeding seven years, he worked his way up to Head of Anti-Money Laundering and Compliance.

“A massive thank you goes to all of my ex-colleagues at MGA. It’s been an exciting seven-year journey to say the least, and it was an honour to work with all of you,” Mr Attard wrote.

“I am extremely honoured and thrilled to start a new chapter in my career with one of the top gaming companies out there. Exciting times ahead,” he continued.

Entain, formerly GVC Holdings, is one of the world’s largest sports-betting and gaming groups, operating both online and in the retail sector.

The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and owns well-known brands such as bwin, Coral, Ladbrokes, PartyPoker, and Sportingbet, amongst others.

Before joining MGA in 2015, Mr Attard held a series of roles at Vodafone Malta over the span of six-and-a-half years.
