Leading payment platform company, Nuvei, has recently appointed two accomplished executives to its board of directors. Maren Lau, the Regional Vice President of Latin America at Meta Platforms, and Tim Dent, former CFO at DraftKings, have joined as independent directors. These additions not only bolster the expertise of Nuvei’s board but also contribute to the company’s commitment to achieving gender diversity targets.
Introducing the New Directors:
Maren Lau brings extensive experience as a founding partner and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of IMS, where she developed successful marketing strategies for technology companies in Latin America. Tim Dent boasts over two decades of online gaming expertise, having served as CFO and CCO at DraftKings, and holding executive positions at Everest Gaming prior to that.
Board Expansion and Gender Diversity Goals:
The appointment of Maren Lau and Tim Dent expands Nuvei’s board to a total of eight members, bringing the company closer to achieving its gender diversity target of 30% female representation by the end of 2023. This commitment reflects Nuvei’s dedication to fostering a diverse and inclusive corporate environment.
Nuvei’s CEO, Philip Fayer, commented on the new additions, stating, “Both Maren and Tim are proven leaders who bring extensive knowledge and experience that is beneficial to our business and highly relevant to our growing industry verticals and geographies. They are outstanding additions to our Board, and we look forward to working with and learning from them.”
Strategic Partnerships:
In July, Nuvei extended its partnership with Eyas Gaming, a prominent operator in the iGaming industry. Through this collaboration, Nuvei provides Eyas Gaming with a comprehensive payment solution for its iGaming brands, including Merkur Slots and Merkur Casino. This partnership, which initially began in October 2021, integrates Eyas Gaming into Nuvei’s advanced cashier technology, streamlining payment processes for enhanced player experiences.
Furthermore, Nuvei secured a partnership with Fonix, a direct carrier billing provider. This collaboration enables Eyas Gaming players to conveniently bill their deposits to their mobile devices, offering a seamless and user-friendly payment option.
The appointment of Maren Lau and Tim Dent to Nuvei’s board of directors enhances the company’s leadership team with their extensive industry knowledge and experience. As Nuvei strives to achieve its gender diversity targets, the addition of these accomplished executives reflects the company’s commitment to inclusivity. The extended partnership with Eyas Gaming and the collaboration with Fonix further strengthen Nuvei’s position as a leading payment platform in the iGaming industry, providing innovative solutions and enhancing the payment experience for operators and players alike.
