Former Chief Financial Officer, Mark Korb, will assume role as Head of Corporate Affairs

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 6, 2022 / Elys Game Technology, Corp. ("Elys" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ELYS)(BER:3UW), an interactive gaming and sports betting technology company, today announced the appointment of Carlo Reali as Interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer effective January 5, 2022, and the addition of Tory Key and Steven Maldonado to U.S. Operations.

"Carlo has been a highly valuable team member for many years and has demonstrated strong leadership within our financial department," stated Michele Ciavarella, Executive Chairman of Elys Game Technology, Corp. "I am very pleased to promote from within and further leverage Carlo's robust experience in corporate finance and strategy in the leisure betting industry as we continue to execute on our long-term vision both in Europe and North America."

Mr. Reali joined the Company in January 2017 as finance manager with Multigioco S.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary, and on October 15, 2020, was appointed and has served as the Company's Group Financial Controller based in the Company's administrative office in Frascati, Italy. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Reali was the Chairman and Executive Financial Manager of S.I.S. S.r.l. from January 2001 until its acquisition in July 2015 by SNAI S.p.A., a leader in the Italian gaming market. Mr. Reali remained with SNAI as Executive Finance Manager until August 2016. Mr. Reali holds a Science Degree from Instituto S. Maria in Rome, Italy and a Degree in Economics and Commerce from University of La Sapienza in Rome, Italy.

Former Chief Financial Officer, Mark Korb, will assume the role of Head of Corporate Affairs, reporting directly to the Executive Chairman and will be responsible for, among other things, various corporate initiatives and activities related to growth and capital strategies.

Tory Key joins Elys as U.S. Business Development Project Leader spearheading business development by providing outreach to potential partners and overseeing sportsbook launches. Mr. Key started his career in the gaming industry with a gaming intelligence platform provider and brought on operators, regulators, payments companies, and others as subscribers to their platform. He also studied the regulatory landscape of the US sports betting industry, while monitoring partnerships and data in applicable jurisdictions to provide relevant information to potential clients.

Steven Maldonado joins Elys as US Head of Product Compliance spearheading engagements with the DC Office of Lottery and Gaming, and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Mr. Maldonado spent over 10 years with Gaming Laboratories ("GLI") Compliance Engineer Level I and II trained in over 400+ jurisdictions worldwide and was subsequently promoted to the Development Representative role to perform NIGA Masters Training responsible for developing, and performing training for Level I, II, and Masters. Prior to GLI, he spent 3 years with Forest County Potawatomi Gaming Commission as Information Technology and Risk Manager and Officer, and 2 years with William Hill as a Technical Compliance Manager in Las Vegas where his duties included obtaining certification reports for the William Hill major platform releases in new and existing markets as well as maintaining and developing change management processes, Internal Control Systems, and pertinent documentation relevant to the William Hill CBS and Liberty platforms.

Mr. Ciavarella continued, "I want to thank Mark for his extraordinary contribution during a period of explosive growth for Elys, as CFO since June 2018. Mark has a proven track record for building key relationships and leading companies through high-stakes projects and look forward to working together with him in his new role as Head of Corporate Affairs. As we aim to further distinguish our products and maintain our technology edge in the U.S. marketplace, I am also thrilled to have Tory Key and Steven Maldonado strengthen our US leadership joining Matteo Monteverdi and our USBookmaking team. Both Tory and Steven are highly accomplished experts in their roles and have been instrumental in the launch of Elys' U.S. facing operations and onboarding our strong and growing pipeline of U.S. clients."
