Lewis will join 888 from Flutter Entertainment where he held the position of transformation lead for the company's international business following its acquisition of The Stars Group in May.

He will join the FTSE 250-listed group in early 2021.
Pazner said: "We are delighted to welcome Vaughan as 888's first CSO. Vaughan is a highly experienced gaming industry professional with a wealth of relevant expertise across both strategic development and investor relations.
"I have no doubt that his skills and background will support 888 to identify and deliver further growth opportunities over the coming years."
