NOVOMATIC Executive Board appoints a new Member

“We are thrilled to have Bartholomäus Czapkiewicz as a new member of the Executive Board. He is an internationally-experienced Research and Development mathematician and computer scientist, with a focus on system and platform solutions. Over the past few years, Bartholomäus Czapkiewicz has played a decisive role in successfully expanding our innovative abilities. On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to wish Mr. Czapkiewicz all the best and a great deal of success in his new role,” said Dr. Bernd Oswald, Head of the NOVOMATIC AG Supervisory Board.

Research and Development has always played a significant role in the NOVOMATIC success story, with 28 company-owned technology centers in 16 countries. “I am looking forward to the new challenge and would like to say thank you for the trust placed in me. Now, as part of the successful Executive Team, my goal, in particular, is to continue development in system and platform solutions, and ensure that our processes become even more efficient as we look towards the future,” emphasizes Czapkiewicz. Over the last three years alone, NOVOMATIC has invested around EUR 300 million in Research and Development.  

Bartholomäus Czapkiewicz has been working at NOVOMATIC for more than 10 years and was responsible for coordinating international development projects, as well as for the Research and Development department in his role as Managing Director of the former NOVOMATIC Gaming Industries GmbH. Of course, Czapkiewicz also offers experience from his time before NOVOMATIC, a time in which he was responsible for designing a variety of development processes for a range of industries.

As of December 1, 2018, therefore, the NOVOMATIC AG Executive Board consists of Harald Neumann (CEO), Dr. Christian Widhalm (CIO), Ryszard Presch (COO), Thomas Graf (CTO), Peter Stein (CFO) and Bartholomäus Czapkiewicz (CSO).
