Ainsworth Game Technology, a gaming giant committed to strengthening land-based and iGaming in North America, has picked Nancy Ramirez Ayala as the company’s new SVP, General Counsel and Group Compliance Officer.

The appointment of Ayala sees her step into an important position as Ainsworth Game Technology navigates the ever-shifting landscape for gambling operations across the region. Ayala is a well-seasoned veteran who has worked across various realms of the gambling industry, and beyond, accumulating knowledge about gaming compliance, online gambling, and intellectual property.

She understands both the legal and business side of operations, which is what makes her such a good fit in the first place according to Ainsworth Chief Executive Officer Herald Neumann who welcomed her appointment and hailed her track record in dealing with the legal and compliance side of the gaming industry as a whole. Neumann had this to say, commenting on Ayala’s appointment:
